It's actually located in Edmonton (E=NG). The Edmonton lab does all of Alberta, all of Sask and sections of the Territories. The Ottawa lab is MUCH bigger and employs many more people.
Alberta basically has its own lab because the PC provincial governments of the early 2000's fought for it and funded it (partially anyways). Presumably because they wanted faster service for Alberta, plus Edmonton and Calgary Police needed access to services. Allison Redford continued the funding for it, but it can be cancelled at anytime (as far as I know).
