That particular tooth appears to be a tyrannosauroid based on size and location along with extent of the serrations along 2 carinae. It's obviously a premaxillary tooth based on the D-shaped cross section and shovel-ish shape. The direction the tip curves in indicates left side of the upper jaw, first or second tooth. The depressions along the carinae indicate probably Albertosaurus sarcophagus, though there are a couple possible tyrannosauroids in canadian faunas. The tooth has none of the wear or fracturing normally found in a shed tooth, so it was either broken off very shortly after eruption or came from a skull which should be nearby. The shape of the fracture at the base indicates it was broken off recently so I'd guess it came from a skeleton in the area rather than just a random tooth broken off by a tyrannosaurid.
Some of this info may be wrong, the anon that found it would know more about it than me.
