Notes

2014-09-08 - Identified through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture and Denis Blaine. The tonal director was Stephen Stoot. -Database Manager

2020-01-08 - The contract was for a new organ in the chancel, with the 1888 Woodstock connected to the Casavant as an Echo Organ; replaced in 1969 by 3/54 mechanical-action Casavant Op. 3045 that was installed in the rear gallery; Op. 1597 was dismantled for parts. -Database Manager
