I don't know, but I was told that truckers don't use cb anymore in those two provinces. That they use VHF now.
Not sure but likely CB is used in Alberta and BC but it does not have to typical range or audio quality that a 30w VHF radio will have. It is not used in the logging industry or oil patch though, those two industries only use VHF for radio controlled roads. CB may still be used by OTR truckers, but many also have VHF
Most of, if not all, the logging and oil patch activity in BC and Alberta is on VHF. In 6 years working in the oil patch, I have yet to see a resource road in Alberta that is on a CB channel. ALL radio controlled roads are on VHF now.
IC, Worksafe BC and the logging industry have come up with a whole bunch of VHF frequencies to use for logging/oil&gas. These frequencies have standardized names, and road signs, also the empty/loaded terminology has been changed as well.
IC has been working on moving LMR users from these frequencies, so that they will be used only for resource roads. There is a list of frequencies that were part of a pilot project in the BC database. But the finalized list will be different.
Users were questioned on their effectiveness, and changes have been made. I believe eventually these channels will be used through out BC.
All this came about after a fatality inquiry into a workplace death on a logging road.
