How about ride the Icefields Parkway from Lake Loiuse to Jasper in 
Alberta, then cross the border & ride up to Prince George along the 
upper Fraser River, then out to Prince Rupert on the North Coast, then 
take the ferry overnight down to Vancouver Island  . . .

The Icefields Parkway is fairly busy - but has wide paved shoulders (& 
lots of cycle tour groups).  The hwy up to Prince George is not heavily 
travelled.
