As of right now, that does appear to be the proposed law once it's legalized:

Consuming cannabis
Albertans will be allowed to consume cannabis in their homes and in some public spaces where smoking tobacco is allowed, but use will be banned in cars.
Although many Albertans said they supported having cannabis cafes or lounges, Alberta will not initially have any venues specific to consuming cannabis. We will revisit this issue once our system for cannabis is established and once the federal government makes decisions about edible cannabis products.
In an effort to protect children and limit second-hand exposure, public smoking or vaping of cannabis in Alberta will be restricted from areas frequented by children, from hospitals and school properties, from vehicles and from any place where tobacco is restricted. There will also be no consumption of cannabis at any cannabis retail outlets.
Our approach to consuming cannabis will continue to restrict where smoking – of cannabis or tobacco – can occur. We will continue our efforts to keep smoking out of enclosed spaces and away from workers and others who may be exposed to second-hand smoke.

Now, "areas frequented by children", could conceivably be anywhere that children aren't specifically prohibited, so, we'll see what the actual regulations say when they're finalized.
