I imagine the demand is still pretty hot for articled students in Calgary. IIRC, they are paid very well compared with most other cities in Canada. Downtown firms might be real sweat shops - I don't know for sure. You might get a more varied experience at a small or mid-sized firm.

fredr123 would have better info - he recently went through all this.

Our small firm is really not ready for expansion for another year or two.

PM me if you need more specific info - glad to help a fellow UBC grad.
