Article update edit

I've updated the article. This included updating the Skate Canada reference (which only has top three & CAN results) and added four pages from the Lethbridge Herald (which have full result). A few notes:

I used newspaperarchive.com to see Lethbridge Herald pages. The results there are somewhat blurry, so even though I'm sure about the ranking, occasionally I had to make an educated guess/calculation to determine the placement points. If someone has a less blurry copy to verify the placement points (or has another source for this info), that would be great.
The daily result pages only gave the placement points for SP, CD, OD, and the end total. They also only gave placement for SP, CD, OD, and end results. For FS and FD ranking, I made educated guess/calculation based on TFP. From what I could determine the various segments were factored:
- SP – 0.5
- FS – 1.0
- CD – ~0.4 with some variation (thankfully the news article explicitly stated the points for each rank)
- OD – 0.6
- FD – 1.0
Note that there were ties for third and ninth place in the CD segment in ice dancing.
For pairs, Barker / Aldred results were missing on the second day. I'm not sure if that means they withdrew (and placed tenth by default) or the newspaper forgot to list them (and TFP was 14.0 with tenth in the FS). Since I had no source for either, I just left it blank.
Some names differ from the way they were written in the Lethbridge Herald articles. Per the way typically done on other figure skating competition articles, I used the names as given in each skater's article (for those who had one) or as commonly known (i.e. way most often seen given a Google search).
