Lloyds Roller Rink on the trail. Party like it's 1978.

2 days in Banff? I'd rather hang myself. Banff is good for a short day trip unless you're fresh to the city.

Do you live in an apartment with a high balcony? Try Flaming Tennis Balls...

Tools:
tennis balls
gasoline
bucket
knife
hockey stick
rubber kitchen gloves
strike anywhere matches

Procedure:

1. cut nice slits in tennis balls
2. pour gasoline in bucket
3. put on gloves
4. submerge tennis balls in gasoline and squeeze balls (the tennis balls) to fill with fluid
5. place bucket of gasoline far away from tennis balls
6. ignite tennis balls
7. WRIST SHOT!
8. bellow in laughter as balls of fire land on street below, and squirt gasoline all over your neighbours' cars
9. call police and blame it on the guy in the apartment below you

wow some great ideas, especially the flaming tennis balls, and burying the dummy.

However on a more serious note

do the tourist thing in your hometown, see the sites that you pass by everyday (I dunno what those are I've only been to Calgary on two very short stints - but I do recall going to a park indoors on one of the upper floors of a building downtown, and I went to the Calgary Tower, went to explore COP).

Lately some friends and I have been doing the hiking, beach adventuring thing around Cape Breton Island, you could do the same around Calgary/Rockies. It's great fun, good exercise, and you can take some amazing photos:

Fishing is a good way to kill a few hours.
