Like arrive Thursday night in Calgary, check in to hotel, have dinner, check out a pub then head back to the hotel. Get up at 8 am on Friday, get ready and take the train to Banff at 9:30 am. Arrive in Banff at 10:30. Do some dining site seeing, casual hiking, etc. For the entire day. Board a train at 9:00 pm and be back at your hotel by 10:30. Take it easy to the day on Saturday, get out of hotel at 11 am, have brunch, catch a flames game or go shopping later. Maybe go to kensington or Inglewood. Go out at night, head back to hotel and leave on Sunday afternoon.

As Sliver said the amount of people who are going to travel to Calgary to do that is very small. Banff and Lake Louise and the Mountains is the draw.
