Really noob question I am sure but here goes lol. I recently purchased my first restricted (Glock 19) and have taken possession, and have received my firearm registration certificate in the mail. I am under the understanding that as of now I would need to get an ATT to transport/use my Glock at the Range, correct?

ATT to go to your range is an “automatic-ATT” that’s attached to your PAL. In short, you don’t need to call to get an ATT if you’re going to your range.

Thanks for the response! I have read a few places that the Auto-ATT is valid for any licensed/regulated range in your province. I am in BC. Do you know if that is correct or is it just specifically for the range(s) that are attached to my RPAL?

I believe that’s correct. I have heard before that you do need to be “invited” to go to a range that you’re not a member of but I’m not sure how true that is. I invited someone to my range and when they called for an ATT, they just said no ATT required/auto-ATT is sufficient.
