Database Manager on January 7th, 2017:

Updated by Jason Barnsley, who maintains the organ.

The organ is installed on the 3rd floor gallery, in the heart of a state-of-the-art building that itself is a musical instrument. It is played regularly for school children, and demonstrated daily for the general public. It was moved and restored by Bill Thurmeier of Golden Eagle Organ Co. of Saskatoon, SK and Jason Barnsley, Collections Technician at NMC.
