"Where is the biggest pipe organ in Canada? Well I’m going to tell you. It’s in Edmonton and it is for your information, 11 meters tall. It has 6,551 pipes, four keyboards, 32-foot pedals and a gazillion knobs and buttons. Well, actually hundreds and the sound of it is as majestic as that instrument itself. Edmonton indeed has the largest pipe organ in Canada". CIBC
