It will be quiet, it is a multi-site trunk system for fire. I tried logging info on it while working out there and never heard anything. It is a poorly implemented system that barely functions and is primarly used by fire. RCMP is probably the most interesting unless you want to listen to guys calling mileage on road channels(Willow haul, North Haul, South Haul, Robb Road) along with Lad1-4 and the Alberta Open Ch1-6 channels. LOTS of oil/logging industry. All activity is going to be Vhf so scan VHF. There is also a VHF LTR system out that way, but I have never had the time or interest to listen/map it. Also keep PROV AMB in your rotation and you will likely hear the mobile repeaters linked by MSAT as well.
