You might want to check and make sure that you can fly with the bearspray, or else buy it down south.
Rawson Lake mentioned above is a great hike to start out with..steep and gets your heart going but not incredibly long either. Its worth bringing a fishing rod up to catch the cut-throats there!
Peter Lougheed also has Mt. Indefatigable which is a nice hike although closed for bears all the time. You can continue from the top of the trail to summit the mountain if you wish as well.
I would recoomend Vasque boots. (Of course its all up to your feel!) They are super comfortable though and I'm about 1/2 way through my second pair. The best place i found for boots in general is on the corner across from MEC on the corner of 8th and 10th.
