Notes

2007-01-29 - Identified through online information from William A. Gaskarth. -- Important organ as it has been not been tonally altered and also retains the original console although somewhat rebuilt to accommodate the new switching mechanisms. Most Casavant organs in Calgary had been rebuilt in Calgary in the 1950s and 1960s. Choir clarinet one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. No general pistons as I remember. Manual and pedal pistons. -Database Manager

2017-12-21 - Initially an Anglo-Catholic parish, the congregation left the Anglican Church at the end of 2011 and became a Roman Catholic parish on January 1, 2012. -Database Manager
