Since you asked for advice, would you like some on Montreal from someone who has never been there? Pretty funny, eh? My advice is this:

If anyone in your family, especially your daughter, likes fireworks, try to go to Montreal during the summer to see the Benson &Hedges Symphony of Fire. This is a touring international fireworks competition that, as I understand it, revolves through Canada's major cities each summer. We saw it in Vancouver and it was one of the most memorable and exciting events that we have experienced in our travels.

And if anyone can see this in Vancouver, do. The fireworks are shot off from out in the water, and people line the beaches to watch. A cruise ship, all lit up with twinkling lights, also stopped to watch, adding another dimension to an already beautiful sight.
