You can find desert-like conditions and weather in two of Canada's provinces:

2: British Columbia: You will find desert-like conditions in various places in the Okanogan Valley.

Answer

Canada has only one officially, recognized desert. It lies in the southern part of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, near the town of Osoyos.

Nowhere in Canada is there a desert, at least not in the way most people mean "desert". The badlands of Alberta are located within the semi-arid western prairies, and as such, cannot be deserts. Dry they are, but not dry enough to be a desert. The Okanagan Valley contains no deserts. Places in the Okanagan, such as Osoyoos, like the western prairies, are semi-arid, and again do not in any way comprise a desert. Osoyoos may "officially" be called a desert, however this is not based on any ecological standing, and it is likely that Osoyoos is called a desert for tourism reason. Parts of the far north are considered to be "polar deserts", as they receive very little precipitation, but most people do not use the word 'desert" to refer to such places.
