"if the oceans die we die"

Where in SW Calgary are you fishing? Is it a public or private lake? The reason I ask is that there are no public places in Calgary where the use of traps is allowed for collecting bait fish.

Here we go again

Wrong.

anywhere really would be awesome I am in the glamorgan are anywhere near there?

As I understand you are allowed to collect baitfish with minnow traps anywhere there isn't a bait ban. That means most streams you can't trap for bait.

"The collection of bait fish is not permitted in waters having a bait ban or restriction on the use of bait fish, and in some other specified waters (see each Fish Management Zone for regulations)."

What are you using for bait? I work in fisheries and cat food works great!

That's correct. Also anywhere there is a ban on the use of bait fish, even if bait is allowed.

most of the time I use cat food with some bread the bread acts like chum I find

Even then you're not allowed to trap for bait fish if there's a ban on the use of bait fish. Just a heads up.
