Option A:

Drive to Toronto, Ontario http://www.toronto.ca/
Ship the cars from Toronto directly to Calgary, Alberta http://travelalberta.com/Places%20to%20Go/Major%20Cities/Calgary.aspx
Fly out to Calgary - see the Calgary Stampede - world's greatest outdoor show July 8-17, 2016 http://cs.calgarystampede.com/info/general/admission-and-hours
Stop in Banff, Alberta https://www.banff.ca/

Drive back to Vancouver to fly home or fly out of Seattle
Option B: Omit Niagara on the Lake and Toronto, Ontario

A good idea would be to contact the VOA members in Alberta, B.C. and Washington for their input and their suggestions on places to see, hotel deals, etc.
