It's good that this is being discussed now.  It would be a shame to have 
someone not be able to attend because they didn't have adequate 
documents.  There *are* immigration sites for both the U.S. and Canada 
that can provide up to date information regarding required documents.  I 
was suggest using those sites rather than speculate about what might be 
required based on responses in this thread.  That said, I probably 
should check my passport to see when it expires.  In addition to the 
likely trip to Montpellier, there is a fairly high chance that'll be 
going to Tanzania on business as well.

I have taken the 1000 Island Bridge (incredibly scenic for those that 
haven't done it) and have also taken the Wolf Island Ferries.  I've 
probably traveled to/from Canada 6-7 times and  got more scrutiny at the 
Wolf Island crossing than any other spot.

Ride sharing is a good idea.  With enough people coming from some areas 
renting a van might even be a viable option.
