In Alberta, Hwy 40 over Highwood Pass is closed till mid June - to protect wildlife. This is the highest paved pass in Alberta, and is a scenic way into Banff from the south.
The Parkway in Banff might also have a wildlife closure at this time. The freeway will be open of course.
The highest paved pass in BC is Kootenay Pass on Hwy 3 (Crowsnest); it is open year around with possible closures for avalanche control.
Kootenay - 1,775 m (5,823 ft)
Bow Pass - 2,088 m (6,850 ft) (Icefields)
Highwood - 2,206 m (7,238 ft)
