Updated by René Le Grand, listing this web site as a source of information: https://marconf.ca/45268-history-of-newcastle-pastoral-charge/.

The changes I propose seem to me to respect the situation in 1919.
Apparently the CASAVANT stoplist usually do such shortcut, but I think it to be historically detrimental.
The readers will not lose anything because the NOTES reconstruct the life span.
The organ was given to the church in 1919 by Lord Beaverbrook in memory of his father, the Rev. William Aitken. A new building was opened in 1963.

The opus 806 was a gift of lord Beaverbrook, William Maxwell \"Max\" Aitken, in memory of his father. The organ is located on a platform posed on the stage facing the assembly, at a distance of about three meters of a basket handle like arch.
