According to the speaker information material I received:

   "Citizens or permanent residents of the US are not required to
    have a passport or visa, and can usually cross the border into
    Canada without difficulty or delay. For native-born US citizens,
    however, some form of identification showing citizenship is
    strongly recommended (e.g., birth certificate plus photo ID
    or, of course, a passport). A permanent resident of the USA
    who is not a citizen must possess a 1551 or 1151 certificate
    (green card) for arrival to and departure from Canada."

Also worthy to note:

    "If you have newly purchased equipment, such as a camera, tape
     recorder, or computer equipment, we suggest you register these
     items with US customs *prior* to coming to Canada."
