The only people I knew who took Math 12 were people who were planning on pursuing science or engineering degrees; I certainly didn't take it.
Now I don't know the differences in curriculum. Maybe what's covered in Math 30-2 in Alberta is similar to Math 11 in BC, but I doubt it.

I think you need like 8 math credits to graduate in Alberta as well. You don't have to have math 30 (or whatever the equivalent is these days).
And Sliver is absolutely right on this. If your child hates math and it's not their forte, should you really be encouraging them to go into a line of work where they have to do math regularly? Perhaps they could look at another avenue to spend ~40 years of their life? And he's also right that if you have no choice but to do the math, you can just do it at that point. It's not like there is a statute of limitations on a pre-requisite that says "you need math 30-1 completely prior to your 18th birthday".
