It's easily done. My parent left Alberta (Edmonton) in mid July, drove to North Sydney. From there they walked onto the Newfoundland ferry. Myself, DW and parents the spent about 4 weeks touring Newfoundland. We dropped them off back at the ferry in mid-August. From there, they have so far spent another month going back to Alberta.
The last email from them said they were in Manitoba. Easily 2-3 days drive from there to Calgary.
Update:
Got a phone call from Mom tonight. They made it home safe after almost 3months of travel across Canada and back again. They stopped and saw almost everything they wanted to. Even had time to visit the train station where Mom caught with her family when they first came to Canda in 'the late '40's, just after the war.
So to answer your question again. You will have lots of time. But a word of advice: Be self sufficient. Almost all of the campgrounds will be closed on the way home.
