2010-01-30 - Identified by Rae Bolton from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -- Damaged by collapse of church wall July 4 2000; Repaired by Ross Dodington -Database Manager

2020-07-07 - The original organ was built by Charles Summer Warren, of Montréal, in 1871. In 1918, the instrument was rebuilt and enlarged by Karn-Morris/Woodstock, of Woodstock, ON. It was again completely rebuilt, incorporating much of the original pipework, by Casavant Frères, of St Hyacinthe, QC, in 1952/1953. In 1976, they further modified and added to the instrument when the Choir division was moved to the west of the Great division and left unenclosed. A Trompette-en-Chamade was added in 1997 by Guilbault-Thérien, of St Hyacinthe. In 2012, the 1970s Contrabass was replaced by an Open Wood made by C.S. Haskell, of Philadelphia, in the 1920s. -Jeff Scofield
