By the 1940s, parishioners turned their attention to beautifying the new church. Reverend Findlay suggested stained glass be installed in the East Window, to honour “the men and women who served, suffered, and died in the service of God, King, and Country.” He was impressed with windows he had seen in Toronto and invited their creator, Meikle Studios, to submit a design. When the studio representative visited the church, he suggested that stained glass be installed in the 14 aisle windows as well. Conceptual designs were drawn up for them, with the upper and lower panel designs being formalized, and the center panel left for a Biblical scene that would be designed when the window was commissioned.
Fundraising for the East Window began in September of 1944, and the window was unveiled on November 11, 1945; a fitting gift from the congregation. The cost was $1,460.17.
The Cecil H.J. Johnson Window was the first to be installed after the Memorial Altar Window.
