The organ of the Cathedral is one of Calgary’s most historic instruments. Built by the renowned firm Casavant Freres and installed in 1906, it was significantly enlarged and overhauled in 1937 and again in 1955. In 2002, the Calgary Universal Foundation for the Organ generously provided funds for the complete restoration of the instrument, including the replacement of the electro-pneumatic combination system with a solid-state switching system and solid-state logic combination system of one hundred twenty-eight levels of memory. The present instrument consists of thirty-nine stops over three manuals and pedal.
