Hey Steve,
If you are still in the country, you should consider coming to the HU meeting in Nakusp this summer. Good place to meet people and swap stories about places to go.
In regards to drivers license, I used my B.C. one primarily, have never been asked for the international one even though I carried it most times. Get a new B.C. one before you go, it's good for five years I think. The international ones are good for a year.
Take a colour photocopy of your license and laminate it and give that to the police when stopped, if they decide to withhold it for bargaining power, it's just a copy anyways.
As for your passport, get a new one before you leave. I believe the expiry is also five years. If you are good about asking the border folks to not use up too many pasges with stamps, then you can stretch out the time before it gets filled up.
Happy planning.
