Notes
2015-10-05 - Identified through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture and Denis Blaine. -Database Manager
2024-11-17 - The organ was moved after Vatican II, having originally been situated in the loft at the back of the nave. It is now located in the right transept; the current facade is not original as a result. Originally, the action was tubular-pneumatic but was changed to electro-pneumatic by François Caron in the 1980s. The keys were given contacts and recapped, so they no longer look like original 1917 keyboards. This latter information comes from Sylvain Brisson, who worked on the project at the time. -Tate Pumfrey
