Closure of Anglican Theological College and Girls' School; Sale of Diocesan Headquarters Property
"In 1964, for reasons of efficiency St. Chad’s Theological College amalgamated with Emmanuel College in Saskatoon. Six years later, St. Chad’s Girls’ School was closed and the diocesan site sold" to the provincial government in the 1980s. The diocesan offices, the former St Chad's Qu'Appelle Diocesan School, the former bishop’s palace, an old people's home and other diocesan structures remained, for a time leased back from the provincial crown; the government has now itself sold the former diocesan property for residential and commercial development. (Of special interest on the property is the intended cathedral site laid out at the corner of Broad Street and College Avenue, outlined in caragana hedges.) St Paul's was upgraded to cathedral status in 1973 and a satisfactory 2-manual Casavant Frères pipe organ built in it in 1974.
