https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Canadian-Rockies-Ben-Gadd/dp/0969263112 A monster of a book, but it's an amazing resource. At the end of June, you will still run into snow at higher elevations, like passes. I'm not sure how backcounty you are planning on going, but unbridged rivers can also be a major issue at this point in the season. Lots of melting snow means fast, cold, deep, murky water.
When it comes to booking backcountry sites, the good ones tend to book up quickly. They key is to look for the "undesirable" ones. These are the ones that are not on a well-known loop and are a LONG day's hike to get to. For example, Flint's Park. If you go even further, random camping is permitted.
Buy bear spray, know how to use it. Learn how to look for signs of bears. Digs, poop, prints, etc. Announce your presence, especially one moving from one area to another. Crossing water, moving from forest to meadow or vice versa. Cook and store food/smelly things in an area separate from where you camp.
It never hurts to pack-in bear spray and check the trail reports before heading out.

Well-traveled hikes are generally low risk for bear encounters, but the further into the back country you go, the more precaution you should take (making ample sound, especially before rounding blind-corners).
In regards to native plants, I've found this book fairly interesting if you're into finding out a bit about their properties!

If you have the time, consider making a trip south of Banff, down into to the Kananaskis Country. There are beautiful hikes in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, with much smaller crowds.
I'd check amazon to deliver to your hotel. Doesn't look like The Source carries your charger.

This store in banff might be able to steer you, doesn't look like they stock but they might in store? Banff Photography 403.762.3562 https://banffphotography.com/
They are out at night like others have said so make sure your tent doesn't have holes. Then when you go to sleep for the night, make sure to kill the ones in there if any have gotten in. Also there are bug nets you can buy too that fully protect you. I'm just going to use deet when I'll be there in June though.
