The slough in Chestermere is OK if you're alright with getting covered in seaweed...
Go to one of the following lakes in BC:
Lake Wasa (very warm but small) - close to Fernie
Shuswap Lake (cooler water early in the year, but big) - by Sicamous/Salmon Arm
Okanagan Lake (ditto) - Kelowna/Penticton/Vernon
Lake Kalamalka (warmer than Okanagan, also smaller) - Vernon
There's another lake like Kalamalka near Penticton whose name escapes me...
Osoyoos Lake (small, some weeds, but very warm) - near Osoyoos... it gets hot there in the summer
Though I've never been myself, I've heard lakes in Saskatchewan are also pretty good for waterskiing.
Long story short, leave the province of Alberta. B-)
