- In 1910 bouwde de firma Casavant een nieuw orgel voor All Saints' Cathedral in Halifax. Het is in 1943 door dezelfde firma verbouwd en voorzien van een nieuwe speeltafel. In 1961 bouwde de firma Hill, Norman & Beard het orgel om. De intonatie werd herzien, er werd wederom een nieuwe speeltafel geplaatst en de dispositie is uitgebreid.
- Het orgel is daarna nog gerestaureerd in 1996 door Dennis King en in 2011 door Casavant.
