Yes, but the Tesla adapter has a limit of 125A, so you can't take advantage of the extra power.
Their CCS are rated for 200 kwh, the Chademo are rated for 100 kwh. Unhappily, the Tesla adapter is limited as @RiverBrick stated.
@Threader : Free trial as in testing? Not yet. Petro-Canada is leaving reviews at most of the Canadian locations when they reach the testing phase if anyone wants to volunteer to test the charging stations.
@Vawlkus : the CCS have a rate of 350kw while the CHAdeMO have a rate of 100kw.

Agreed. Doesn't matter that the pipe can provide 100 kw. The adapter is limited to 50 kw for all Teslas. Even if the site offered 1 Mw.

Sorry, meant CCS on one and Chademo on the other. The two stations share the input cabinet feeds.
Passed by the Petro-Canada in Les Cèdres Quebec. Was a bit of a pain to get there as I was on east bound 20 hwy and did not expect to see the overpass completely removed thus removing easy access. Slight detour and found my way there only to find out both FAST DC charger stations were not operational.

Do they have plans for a website to check ahead on status (in use, out of service, etc)?
BC hydro and Fortis do this thru plugshare. At any time you can go to plugshare and see if a site is in use or not.
PetroCanada says they are installing CHAdeMO/CCS at a station in north-central Nanaimo BC (at Terminal Ave north and Princess).
There has been a lot of digging going on at that station for the lady few days. I wonder whether that is what is going on.
The station is within 3-4 kilometres of the BC Ferries Departure Bay terminal.

Here’s the PlugShare link, if you’re interested. The description says construction has started, although I dunno when that was posted. Pictures should be posted soon

Has anyone received one of the latest batches of CHAdeMO adapters yet? Just curious if anyone that has ordered after the September 5th restocking has reported problems with latching or if we can count that problem crossed off the list now. Mine arrives the middle of next week, will report asap.
Showed up today mid afternoon. No one was there charging. Both duel stations were operational and free to use. I went there with my SR+ at 40% SOC. I was getting 45 kW and Charging station was reporting 48 kW. Took about 20 minutes to get to my cutoff of 85% SOC. Had plenty of time to get some redbulls and bathroom break before heading north to cottage country.
Petro-Canada has CHAdeMO 100 kW capable system but it also showed up with my SR+ charging
hit up against the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter limit with 50 kW at 72% SOC. Soon as it hit 75% SOC it started ramping slowly down from there. I never saw 50 kW with the the 50 kW Circuit-Electric chargers. SO go for Petro-Canada!

I got a chance to test out the new Petro-Canada chargers out at Aldersyde this afternoon with my Model 3. When I arrived to test them out it was fenced off and a crew was installing stickers to one of the stations. One of the workers moved the fencing to allow me to test on the other station.
The experience was like any other Level 3 station. I liked the UI experience that Petro-Canada has implemented. Very clear and intuitive. I topped out at 50kW, which is the limit of the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter. The station is capable of up to 250kW according to the worker I spoke to. They are opening 6 charging stations in Alberta for now, and he told me charging would be free for 2 years.
