I attended the Montreal regional in its first year, and I have to say it was the most fun event I've ever been to. The organizing committee knows how to put on a show, with an event atmosphere that's unparalleled. You will have some volunteers, possibly including judges, who don't speak English, however they've always ensured that their are enough bilingual volunteers to accommodate the anglophone teams. They've done a great job over the years to minimize the impact of the language barrier.
