Explain the circumstances and where the carcass was found, keeping in mind that approvals to salvage meat are given on a case-by-case basis.
A Fish and Wildlife officer will advise you whether further investigation or inspection of the carcass will be required.

The procedure that you may follow when salvaging roadkill is as I explained.

You must report it ASAP when you have the soonest opportunity to do so. This is in The Wildlife Act and I am Confident that it is accurate. In my district I email the info, recover the roadkill and they contact me with approval when they open the next business day. Other districts may require that you bring the roadkill in for inspection and/or sign paperwork.

This stuff is common dog to many of us Trappers as we actually deal with it all the time and have real life experience with it. Reading regs is great but a better teacher would be for you to go out and salvage a roadkill on your own so you experience firsthand what the procedure is. From you north to Legal and west of hwy 2 is the Stony Plain District.
