Each issue includes poetry, fiction, interviews with writers, book reviews, art, and film reviews. The editorial board of the magazine has always been composed of volunteers, most of whom are writers or artists. The vast majority of emerging writers from Calgary have at one time volunteered on "filling Station"'s editorial board.
