Lake Louise is one of the most beautiful natural sights you'll ever see - you can just sit at the edge of the water and stare all day. Both Banff and Lake Louise are expensive and very popular with tourists, but if you can avoid the university study week in February you should hit a pretty low point for tourists.

As for other things to do, if you're in that area in February, check out a hockey game in either Calgary or Edmonton, especially after Edmonton's run at the cup this year. I don't know that either city has "attractions" per se like a statue of liberty or eiffel tower, but they're both interesting cities in their own right. Of course, you could spend a lifetime enjoying the outdoors around Banff and Lake Louise, Jasper, all sorts of parks, trails, mountains around that area.
