If you are riding your bike through a crosswalk you are immediately a motor vehicle and no longer a pedestrian.
Excerpt from the Cycling Safety Handbook which directly references the Alberta Traffic Safety Act:

Conversely, motorists should not give cyclists the right-of-way at crosswalks unless they are walking their bicycle. When you walk your bike you are a pedestrian. When you ride your bicycle you are a vehicle.
