As I pointed out earlier, the Canadian shield is one such place, as are most of the continental shields. They are very old, situated in the core of the continents, and are seismically very quiet. I'm a geologist, so I know a bit about these things.
What about quakes stemming from isostatic relaxation of the Canadian shield?
