So far I've only been able to access these url parameters from within the get_queryset method, although I've only tried it with a ListView not a TemplateView. I'll use the url param to create an attribute on the object instance, then use that attribute in get_context_data to populate the context:

class Yearly(TemplateView):
    template_name = "calendars/yearly.html"

    current_year = datetime.datetime.now().year
    current_month = datetime.datetime.now().month

    def get_queryset(self):
        self.year = self.kwargs['year']
        queryset = super(Yearly, self).get_queryset()
        return queryset

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(Yearly, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['current_year'] = self.current_year
        context['current_month'] = self.current_month
        context['year'] = self.year
        return context
