Casavant Opus 1010 was dedicated in the morning worship service on Sunday, December 23, 1923. After the evening worship service, the church's newly appointed and newly arrived organist from England, Prof. H. Matthias Turton, played the opening recital.
"The church . . . has installed a new organ of a type that is uncommon in this section of the province."
