When did steam end on the Canadian Pacific Railway?

I know that steam ended in the 1950s in the US, but when did they end in Canada?

Steam was a mere memory after early 1958. It is believed that the last run of steam in regular service departed Medicine Hat, Alberta, towards Calgary as power for a stock extra.
