That pack of 25 WAS in Alberta. Or did you mean a pack of 40?

*edit*....Well since the mods seemed my clear explanation of the above photo was somehow offensive and removed it...let me explain again.

The photo in the OP HAS been around for years, (2011 to be exact) and has been inaccurately attributed to many different areas of the globe. Montana, Russia, etc etc. And questions abound that it was photoshopped.

It is not photoshopped, it is a screen shot of a video of a pack of 25 wolves in Wood Buffalo National Park, filmed by the BBC Production crew of the docomentary "Frozen Planet". It is not led by 3 older, infirmed wolves, it is led by the Alpha Female. It appears in episode 5, here

The story starts at the :49 minute mark. The specific pack of 25 you see in the picture is seen at the :51 minute mark.

Hope this clears things up.
