If you live in Calgary and are going for two weeks, a cab ride will likely be cheaper (depending on where you live).

Most week-long (or multi-week) trips will leave in the morning and return a week later at night. This means that your parking charge is going to be for a week and one day, or two weeks and one day in your case. Even in the discount lot, that will be $90 plus tax ($40/week x 2 weeks + $10/day). You can get to a lot of the city for less than a $45 cab ride.

If you don't live in Calgary, I'd look into some of the airport hotels. I know that in some cities, hotels will offer a "flyer's" rate where if you stay in the hotel before and/or after your flight, they'll let you park your car in their lot during your trip. Of course, that would only make sense if you were going to stay in a hotel before and/or after your flight anyway.
