tonnes of info on the net.  use Uncle Google with the keywords "Alberta scorpion".

the northern or boreal scorpion (family Vaejovidae, Paruroctonus boreus) is the only species that occurs in Canada (southern Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia). It is about 5 cm long and has a 2-year life cycle.

For the most part Fish & Wildlife frown on people keeping native species in captivity, so there probably isn't a whole lot of anecdotal husbandry info out there.
