There is a new RNAV (GNSS) Rwy 10 posted earlier:

What makes me think that WestJet shot the VOR Z is that the missed approach on the WS 2562 ADS-B track looks more like the 180 degree course of the published miss on the VOR approach rather than the direct ONBED missed approach on the RNAV plate. Also, with weather at minimums, MDA is 500 feet on the VOR approach, 700 feet for the RNAV.

Of course, the tower may have given them turn right heading 180, maintain 4000 feet after the RNAV approach.
