I have done Yamnuska a few times and really enjoyed it, especially the way down.

Mount Allan, Wind Ridge, Indefatigable, Ha Ling, Fairview are all fairly easy with minimal exposure.

One of the nicest was Cirque Peak down the Icefields Parkway, its a bit of a slog up some scree for the last bit, but the view at the top is among the best I have seen.

Another one that I really like due to it being so close to the city is Prairie mountain. I have been up there in January with little snow and June with lots of snow. On a clear day you can see the city and you could probably do it after work and be down before sunset.
