I'm a gamer and a lot of the guys I game with live in the Toronto Area and want me to come up there for a week or so. If I go the trip would be on Aug. 31 and if I need a passport I don't think that is enough time to get one.

No you don't really need your passport, just a proof of US citizenship is enough to enter in Canada

Minors (under 16) traveling alone or in someone else’s custody must present written authorization, signed before a notary, from the parent(s) or guardian. Visas are not required. Canadian immigration officials at ports of entry will issue persons planning to stay longer than 180 days a visitor’s record. Anyone with a criminal record (including a DWI charge) should contact the Canadian Embassy or nearest Consulate General before travel. U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport. HIV testing required for resident applicants who are over 15. A temporary resident applicant requires immigration medical examination if stay exceeds 6 months or seeking to work in Canada.

No, you don't need a passport. I believe starting next year sometime you will, though,

Current Requirements for Entry Into Canada
Visas are not required for U.S. citizens entering Canada from the U.S. You will, however, need:
1. Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship.
2.Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license

You are safe now with your ID and Birth Certificate
But Starting January 1st 2007, You must have a passport for international travel. No Exceptions
***Your birth certificate must be government issued, NOT FROM THE HOSPITAL.
NO FEET, NO SEAT!
Thats what we say here in Milwaukee, IF your Birth Certificate has your footprint on it, Its no good. You will have to go to the courthouse in the County in which you were born.
