Just got a Quad for my dad who lives in sask.  I'm getting it to him later this summer and I wanna ride it first.   its already used but i don't quite now how to insure and reg for just the summer.  so i can run around on it before it goes to sask where it will be insured and registered.  can anybody point me in the right direction?

Gonna cost a little bit.

Most insurance companies can provide coverage for dirt bikes and quads. Rate may be dependent on engine size. I have paid from $200 to $350 peer year for coverage - range from kids dirtbikes to 6x6 amphibious. They should just need make, model, engine size and serial number.

Register at registries office as offhighway vehicle - my recollection is last time I renewed it was $50.

as far as I know, quads do not have to be registered in Sask (never seen a plate on one, and  I used to work at a Polaris dealership), and insurance is just added under your house insurance.  check info to see if your dad can register and insure the unit in alberta, or alternatively, have him "sell "it to you so you can register it and such

This is from a Government official. This is the law...

"Dirt biking and Quadding are covered under the Traffic Safety Act’s Off Highway Vehicle Regulation. The regulation affords for some temporary exemptions for out of province / country vehicles.

In essence:  Regardless of where the OHV is from (e.g. US, out of province) the vehicle must have insurance. Temporary insurance can be obtained.  Regarding registration and license plate, the vehicle must comply with the legislation in the vehicles home province / state. All other equipment is required (headlight, taillight, muffler with functional spark arrestor)."

Hope this solves it for you.
