She inquired to Alberta Educational authorities about the list of eligible schools and received this following list:

Thank you to Anna Kuranicheva, staff immigration lawyer at the Edmonton Community Legal Centre www.eclc.ca for her work digging up this list and confirming this.
I think all provinces should make their lists public and clear and Alberta joining B.C. is a great step.
