Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. and Monday's Victoria Day in Canada mark the unofficial start of summer for both countries. Border traffic volumes are expected to increased greatly during the holiday weekend, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection is reminding all travelers planning trips across the border into the United States to make sure they have their proper documents.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires U.S. and Canadian citizens age 16 and older to present a valid, acceptable travel document that denotes both identity and citizenship when entering the U.S. That's either a passport, Enhanced Driver's License/Enhanced Identification Card or Trusted Traveler Program card.
