Actually the Northern Black Widow is the widow we have in southern Ontario, it is extremely rare and less potent than the Southern. Your odds of ever encountering one are extremely slim and pretty much zero in Alberta. I have tried to find one in the wild to photograph for years and have never found one. Here is a good article back in 2009 from CTV.
