About the Organ

Today, the organ is a staple of our congregational worship at Kanata United Church, and is used at each service as a solo instrument, and to support congregational singing. Redesigned and built by Guilbault-Thérien in 1994. The console is electric, with acoustic pipes situated at the center of the chancel in the sanctuary.
