Replaced by another organ (2017)
- In 1945, the Casavant firm built an organ for the chapel of the École Normale des Soeurs de l'Assomption-de-la-Sainte-Vierge in Amos, Québec. When this school closed in 1965, the organ was donated to the parish of Saint-Sauveur-les-Mines in Val-d'Or. Also called Église Saint-Sauveur for short, this church was consecrated in 1960.
- Because the organ had been in an unplayable condition for a long time, it was decided in 2017 to replace it with a larger organ, coming from a monastery chapel in Nicolet.
