Yeah I remember us talking about that BT. Normally we don't advise ATC when we do an autoland, and depending on a companies SOP's it is unlikely you would hear when it is happening.
For others benefit since you may already be aware, Calgary doesn't currently have a cat 2 or 3 ils, which allows you to get lower before needing visual contact (on all approaches visual contact is eventually needed, even if an autoland). While some airlines may do autolands to a non cat 2 or 3 runway, most of the time it is not used to cat 1 like in Calgary.
Westjet would only do autolands typically on a cat 2 or 3 approach.
