There is no central registry for BMD events in Canada as it is under provincial jurisdiction. As well most provinces have privacy laws that restrict access to records. Generally speaking, births from less than 100 years ago are protected. British Columbia privacy laws restrict access to death registrations from less than 20 years ago to next of kin only.
At Ancestry.ca, the information that is available that I could see on Alice Lazorko consists of the obituary you've seen, a couple of voters list entries and telephone directory entries. No personal information like birth or death place however the voting list entry does have her living in Port Alberni, British Columbia in 1974 and the obituary in the Times-Colonist does say that it was originally published in a Port Alberni newspaper. The 1968 voters list indicates she and her husband were in Yorkton, Saskatchewan in 1968.
