I agree with your sentiment, but there are wolves still in the Canadian rockies. I've seem them and heard them on the Clearwater River, and I hear there are signs of them from Kananaskis south to the Montana border. There may not be many in the Bow Valley right now, but I would be surprised if there were none. Wolves have very large ranges.

Not sure if this up-to-date:
Wolves only recently returned to the park after a long absence. There are now 35-40 wolves residing in the park in four different packs, including one pack that uses the Bow Valley between Banff and Lake Louise and is occasionally seen along the Bow Valley Parkway. Since the late 1980s, an intensive wolf study has been ongoing in Banff, and in recent years has spread out to include Kootenay and Yoho National Park wolf populations as well.
