Notes

2015-07-14 - Identified through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture and Denis Blaine. The tonal director was Stephen Stoot. The cost was $ 9,425.00. -Database Manager

2020-06-26 - The contract was for rebuilding 1911 Casavant Op. 462, with tonal changes and a new console; it was replaced in 1962 by 3/47 Casavant Op. 2708, retaining the 1952 console; at some point there was a merger and the congregation became The Anglican Church of St. Peter & St. Simon-the-Apostle. -Jeff Scofield
