I obtained a protection order against my husband in Alberta last month. I then moved to British Columbia. Now my husband has found me and is hanging around my house. Can I call the police to enforce the order I obtained?

The order obtained in Alberta under the Protection Against Family Violence Act can only be enforced in Alberta. You can still call the police in British Columbia but measures would have to be taken under British Columbia law or the Criminal Code. The Criminal Code does include an offence of harassment.
