*Links:

On the University Website, some photos of the UQAM campus can be found in which there is a very tall church spire - that is the former Saint-Jacques.  A campus map page shows the location of the building complex in which the former church is embedded, and has a small photo (view from the southeast) which includes the tower.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of miscellaneous bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
