The organ sitting at the former Third Avenue United Church will maintain its heritage designation after a lengthy discussion at city council Wednesday.The 1913 Casavant organ inside the former Third Avenue United Church, now known as the St. Vincent of Lerins Orthodox Church, is considered a historical asset and cannot be moved under the Municipal Heritage Property Designation set by the City of Saskatoon.
Lenore Swystun, chair of the Saskatoon Heritage Society, spoke at the meeting, saying the organ is important to the building in both a cultural sense and an architectural one.Swystun said the current owners of the building were aware of the designation, adding they’ve also benefitted from that designation by receiving grants for roof repairs.
Aalders said the organ consists of 2,468 pipes and 39 bells, ranging in size from as small as a pencil to as large as a dining room table. “We’re a church of people who build and do things, our altar is built by members of our parish, our iconostasis — that wall with icons — is built by people in our parish. We want to build, we want to create a worship space that is an Orthodox worship space,” Fields said.Interest rates on hold — for now. Where does the Bank of Canada go next?Fields said they were the only ones to bid on the church, adding that their culture and values were also valuable.
