I don't think there is such a thing. That is, I don't think there's a law setting out a specific age at which you can leave a child alone overnight. (Well, the age of majority... 18... would be pretty much an upper bound.) In the absence of a law, it's left up to the discretion of the courts whether leaving a particular child alone constituted child endangerment or not.

There is no legal minimum age for a child to be left alone in Alberta.
There are no legal laws about the age a child may be left alone but a child who is left alone too young could leave the parent liable for negligence or child abuse. A general rule of thumb would be if the child can cook for him/herself or call emergency services.
There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
