Deer Hunter is incorrect. The rules around accessing grazing leases are governed under the Recreational Access Regulation under the Public Lands Act. You can be charged under that regulation for accessing that lease without contacting the lease holder. here is the section:
Contact before access
5(1) A person who for recreational purposes wishes to gain access to land that is the subject of an agricultural disposition that is a grazing lease or a farm development lease to use the land shall contact the disposition holder’s contact person and provide the following information to that person:
(a) the number of persons wishing to gain access to the land and, if the disposition holder’s contact person requests it, their names and the licence numbers of the vehicles that will be used to transport those persons to the land;
(b) the name of a person who will act as a contact for the person or persons wishing to gain access and the means by which that person may be contacted;
(c) the recreational purpose for which access is desired, the proposed date, time and duration of the access and the location, in as much detail as is practicable, at which the recreational purpose will be carried out.
