As I understand the OP, he is refinancing and paying out an existing mortgage.
Discharging the old mortgage is a minor part of the job. The main job is preparing and registering the new mortgage, requesting the funds and paying out the old mortgage. Lenders normally require that a lawyer prepare and register the new mortgage.
There are not really any notaries in Alberta that aren't lawyers. BC permits notaries (not lawyers) to perform some land title services, but this is not the case in Alberta.
