How much work is involved depends on where the subdivision is in your quarter and which section you are subdividing. You also need to know if you have actually have to have the subdivision surveyed off or if you can do it by descriptive plan. When you get your subdivision approval, there should be information on it as to how the subdivision has to be done. I am not familiar with surveying down in southern Alberta, but up north we can sometimes do a subdivision by descriptive plan, which is just a drawing showing where your parcel is. The advantage to this plan is that it is much cheaper. The disadvantage is that there are no survey posts at the corners, so you can't find your exact boundaries without someone surveying them in.
You will need to get an Alberta Land Surveyor (ALS) to do your plan for you, as you need one to submit the plan to Land Titles. Look around a bit as there are probably quite a few down there looking for work. If you send them your information, they should be able to give you a fairly accurate quote.
