The Royal Canadian College of Organists is Canada's oldest association of musicians, founded in 1909 as an education and service organization.

The RCCO presents events throughout the year to the public, showcasing the organ in all its splendour both as a solo instrument and to accompany other instruments. Today, the RCCO is a nationwide community of professional and amateur organists, church musicians, choral conductors, and others sharing an interest in the organ. RCCO programs and conventions offer opportunities to hear and meet world class recitalists and clinicians from Canada and abroad, to participate in workshops on a wide variety of topics, and to discuss subjects of mutual interest with friends and colleagues.

Rosemay Laing was introduced to the carillon by Carillonneur Emeritus Herman Bergink, and later studied with Dr Andrea McCrady, Dominion Carillonneur at the Peace Tower in Ottawa.

Rosemary was appointed Carillonneur of the Netherlands Centennial Carillon in 1992 and later qualified to become a Carillonneur Member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America.

When Rosemary isn’t playing the bells at the top of the tower, an automated player strikes the hour and plays a short tune.
