Minor without passport, transiting through Canada with both US parents

For minors travelling with their parents (who have photo IDs) and the parental relationship can be established (same last names or information on birth certificate), photo IDs are in practice not necessary (but may still be helpful, even if expired).
Note that for air travel, the airlines are required to demand a passport or NEXUS card.

52 (1) In addition to the other requirements of these Regulations, a foreign national seeking to become a temporary resident must hold one of the following documents that is valid for the period authorized for their stay: (a) a passport [...]
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to (a) citizens of the United States; [...]
The exceptions are also discussed in the IRCC/CBSA operational manual ENF 4: Port of entry examinations (section 13.16).
