Or perhaps some school boards are more welcoming to GSAs than others are. A provincial mandate would ensure that students everywhere in Alberta would have administration support if they wanted to form a GSA; it wouldn't be a privilege reserved only for those students lucky enough to live in an area that allows these groups. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Catholic schools, for example, have banned Gay-Straight Alliances in the past.
