Purchase "Incorporation and Business Guide for Alberta" from Chapters or wherever for $40.
Get the forms from the registrar and fill them out word for word as you see them in that guide she bought. The registrar is not legally allowed to give you any legal advice and will not/should not help you fill the forms out. Also, expect to pay ~$265 to incorporate.
That $40 is a huge savings from a lawyer. They do the exact same thing as you so it is well worth her time to do this without one. She will however need a lawyer for the annual minute book and yearly filings for the corp. But that can be done after the corp is up and running.
Lastly, do get an accountant. Taxes get really confusing in the corp and it is well worth the money spent on a good accountant. They should be able to save you more in taxes than you would figuring it out on your ownand more than cover what she would pay them for their time.
It is well worth it to incorporate. Heck, I've enjoyed it so much I've done it 3 times already!
