Foreclosures in Alberta are heard in the Court of King's Bench. A lender cannot sell your home without going through the court, and for Redcliff that means Medicine Hat Law Courts, 460 First St SE.
Title work runs separately, through Land Titles South. Land Titles has been slow since the counters closed to walk-ins in September 2025, with registrations reported taking around a hundred days, so build that into any plan with a deadline in it.
A little about Redcliff
A town in Cypress County immediately east of Medicine Hat, with an economy built on oil and gas drilling and pipeline services alongside a substantial greenhouse industry growing vegetables, flowering plants and trees. The population is about 5,581.
A violent tornado struck Redcliff in June 1915 and knocked out several manufacturing businesses for good. More practically today: greenhouse and energy-services work are both cyclical, and being next door to Medicine Hat means competing with its listings when it comes time to sell.

What actually happens
Less than people fear. Much of a foreclosure is documents rather than hearings, and an undefended claim moves through its stages without anyone standing up in a courtroom. That is also the risk — the process advances whether or not you engage, so engaging is how you keep a say in it.
