If you are flying strictly for pleasure and are doing your training at YBW, I highly recommend giving the 1999 7ECA Citabria at the Calgary Flying Club a try. Learning to fly in a conventional gear aircraft will give you inherently better stick & rudder skills that you will likely retain forever. It's also a heck of a lot more fun than a 172 or any other tricycle gear aircraft you would otherwise train in.
