Carry fixed blade in wilderness

Norman (Alberta)

Hello! I have a couple questions:

1. In Alberta, is it legal to carry a fixed blade knife in the wilderness? My knife has a 8 inch straight blade and a sheath that I mount to my backpack shoulder strap.

2. I heard it's illegal to use a knife for self-defence in Alberta. Does that mean I cannot use it if a wild animal attacks me?
