Cash & Foreign transaction fee in Canada?

If I am traveling to Canada from California, what are the best tips to manage my money for 4 days there?

Should I use US cash?
I have Credit cards with 1% Foreign transaction fee.
Also debit cards from Credit Unions? Is taking cash out on the ATMs, for Canadian $s is a good idea? I forgot to say these Credit Unions don't charge a fee. I would use a Credit Union in Toronto that is surcharge free.

Also, I am visiting Niagara falls from Toronto. Is there an entrance fee?

Thanks
