You pretty much answered your second question in your question. It supplies water to Lake Chestermere, which in turn supplies water to the Western Irrigation District.

Water is diverted from the Bow into the canal at the weir, it then makes its way to Chestermere, which has two outlets that supply water to farms east of Calgary for irrigation.
I can't find any reference to a name for the canal.
