no longer “prohibited”
HUNTING WITH CROSS-BOWS
Since the fall season of 2002, cross-bows are no longer “prohibited” for hunting wildlife in Alberta. Cross-bows may not be used to hunt big game during archery-only seasons. The only exception is for an eligible handicapped hunter who has obtained a cross-bow licence. A Bowhunting Permit, as required by bowhunters using conventional archery equipment, is not required by persons who are hunting with cross-bows.
In accordance with federal regulations, cross-bows may not be used for waterfowl hunting. Persons hunting big game with a cross-bow must use an authorized cross-bow and arrow (bolt). An authorized cross-bow is one that requires 100 pounds or more of pull to draw the string or cable to its cocked position. There is no restriction on arrow length however it must have a tip as described under the heading “Bowhunting” on page 44

it might be 14 years old but it still helps when others might not know or wanting to know.

I think that reading the hunting regulations would also help greatly, because it is all in there and current.
