What part of Ontario are you from? I am a Peterborough transplant.
Just west of Edmonton is Wabamun Lake, good place to knock off some plane rust with a bunch of pike, throw a flashy spoon right off the pier in the town of Wabamum and you should connect. Mostly smaller guys but a few gators roaming around the lake.
Than drive a little further west to fish the McCloud river around Edson, grab a walleye rod with a rapala and wade the river casting into deeper pools for walleye and pike.
Than head north towards Grande Prairie, don't worry just about every river you cross from there north through BC will look fishy and worthy of a few casts. A 3-4 inch stickbait on one rod and a small Mepps spinner on another should let you figure out what's in the rivers (pike/walleye or trout/grayling)
Worth a few bucks to get the ifish AB app for your phone as it will let you know what lakes or rivers are near your location, what zone your in and what species and limits are in place for that location.

Your in for a fun trip.
