The last CBC affiliate shut the lights off on Sept 1

CKSA Lloydminster AB/SK was the last CBC affiliate...not anymore. They dropped it and went with Global

http://blog.fagstein.com/2016/09/01/global-expands-network/

More Canadians are being exposed to Global Television’s brand this fall as small stations are dealing with the fallout of CBC dropping all its private television affiliates.

Starting today, CKSA-DT in Lloydminster (Alberta/Saskatchewan) changes affiliation from CBC to Global. The Newcap-owned station had been the last privately-owned affiliate carrying CBC programming, but the public broadcaster terminated its agreement with the station, forcing it to seek an alternative source. Its sister station CITL-DT is already a CTV affiliate, so Global was the next logical option. It now carries the entire Global morning, daytime, primetime, evening and late-night lineup, with the exception of the Newcap News local news show at 5pm weekdays.


Cable folks will get CBC Calgary while satellite usually gives them all the networks from their province so they already got CBC Calgary and Edmonton
 
actually CKSA had no choice. Per their application to the CRTC in May this year

The CBC notified this licensee in the current affiliate agreement and again in a letter dated January 20, 2015 that it would not enter into another agreement at the expiration of the current agreement on August 31, 2016. We have no choice but to disaffiliate and seek alternate programming.
