Yes. You need a letter from both parents stating they give you permission to travel with your aunt and uncle out of the country. It should include the names, address, telephone numbers and any other relevant contact information for your parents.
In addition to this you need a passport, or you need proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate. Having photo ID is also a good idea, especially if using a birth certificate.

Yes, if you are traveling with someone besides your parents, you need writen consent from both parents. Check out http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApJEFAjh.N.O4Gg1LcK86uLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080709113624AAbqLFc

As other people have said on here you need written consent from both parents, but when I went, my parents had to have it notarized by the secretary of state office. Also you need a passport to get into Canada, before you didn't but now you do, also birth certificate would probably be a good idea.

Yes. No. Maybe. It depends.

If you're 18 or older, you don't need it. If you're under, you may. If your aunt and cousins have the same last name as you, it's doubtful that you will ever be asked if she's your parent (and if you were, you could lie.) But if you need consent, a "note" won't do unless it is quite specific, signed by BOTH parents (unless one has sole legal custody,) and is notarized.

Nick J has it right. Also, the letter, signed by both parents should be notarized. You only need a passport if you're travelling by air. If by car, you'll need your birth certificate and if possible a government issued photo ID. It sounds like your quite young, so probably don't have a drivers' licence. If you have school ID take that too.

if you are a minor you will need a letter signed AND notarized from both of your parents in order to enter the country.

I travel with my son every year and they ask for this letter EVERY time I get to the border so better safe than sorry when you get there ...you don't want them to deny your entry.

I do not tihnk so, jsut as long as you have your passpot. Call the border official to make sure.
