Follow the trans-canada highway. Give Quebec a huge miss!!!!!! (Unless you can speak fluent French and enjoy meeting ignorant people). Sault Ste Marie in Northern Ontario is a nice place for a stop-over. From Edmonton to Jasper there is a nice little town called Edson, good folk there, very helpful and they carry jet fuel.
Jasper is a grass strip with no services. Banff is beautiful but watch the wind, it comes from both directions down the runway!

For further info I would suggest you log on to Jetthrust.com and ask the question there as well, it is a friendly Canadian aviation site (Mods....this is not advertising, just trying to help the gentleman out!!! OK?)

Allow about 3 - 4 days for the crossing. Its fun!!
