Late last year there was a bunch of stuff in the Calgary news about service dogs and folks being refused service and access. I'm not fully aware of how everything works but it seems as though there is a lot of confusion on the subject. From what I think I learn on the subject, in Alberta, only service animals which are trained or certified by an Assistance Dogs International (ADI) school are legally allowed to provide service across the province. Of course there are other organizations that provide training and certificates or licenses for service dogs or companion animals which are not ADI programs so it makes for a pretty grey area.
