Right now, you can search 1921 and view images for free, but only via:
http://search.ancestry.ca/search/db.aspx?dbid=8991

The 1921 addy "S3 T55 R22 W4M" places him maybe a mile N of downtown Ft Saskatchewan, so abt 30km NE of Edmonton.

[Note there's a "C" in col 4 - Alfred wasn't at home, but on service [i.e., training] elsewhere in Canada]

LAC have just started digitizing all their WW1 army service records - seeing as his surname is a W, Alf's will be released in the last batch, so late 1915, but it'll be worth returning then to:
