Andrew Henderson on December 3rd, 2023:

From the Waterloo Region Record (February 11, 1942): "The organ is a 2-manual electric instrument with 31 speaking stops and couplers. It has eight adjustable pistons and is equipped with chimes and with variable volume controls. It is situated in the rear of the gallery, with the console separated by about ten feet so the organist, Sister M. Camille, can direct the choir as well. The console, of circular type, is made of solid mahogany. The front pipes are finished in a combination of gold and silver. The console stops are illuminated by indirect lighting and it has all the facilities for easy control. Most of the pipes are under the swell pedal but the major diapason and some of the pedal pipes are unenclosed. The organ was designed to be capable of reproducing both the work of the classical and modern composers with equal facility. Specifications were drawn by Canada's great organist, Dr. F. T. Egener of London, Ont. Dr. Egener will play at the Sunday evening recital. Dr. Frank Legg [sic], who built the organ, will give the afternoon recital."
