If I understand it correctly the projection is BC albers - NAD83 and I agree they should be able to read its the only projection they use . It is a public access system that allows you to load a shp file directly for your own use so  they don't have staff doing it. But Qgis did it for me i just loaded it and saved it in Qgis and it worked .

The local govenment gis system requires .shp filesets to use as layer. They say u need 3 files and then proceed to list 4 .sh,.shx,.dbf and .prj  the  software im using (gpsutility) produces the first 3 and does not produce the projection (.prj) and im not shure how to create it or aquire it . i have looked at several other systems and they all seem to just produce the same three files . Do i need  ArcVeiw or ArcGis for this?
