change everywhere canada on usa or uk - should pass with that as well.
 
Now, since the act specifies a "bicycle helmet" must be warned, an officer would really be quite the jerk for issuing a ticket in the event that you were wearing a motorcycle helmet, instead!

Thanks for posting this. Even though it doesn't apply to AB, I think I'll print that one out, along with the relevant AB legislation to carry in my saddlebag--just to help support an argument for the legitimacy of the contraption, should that ever be necessary.
