The Sackville Meeting Room was an assembly that existed in Sackville, New Brunswick from at least 1894 thru at least 2016. Originally an Exclusive brethren meeting, and in 1909 it affiliated itself with the Tunbridge Wells split, and as of 2016, it would be with the Nepean division of 1992.

The earliest correspondent was John A. Hammond (1843-1939), an artist with roots Montreal, Quebec who was introduced to the Brethren while chasing a gold rush in New Zealand in 1866, and whose brother and nephew were subsequently in leadership at Natural History Hall. John served this assembly from 1894 thru at least 1927, but likely until his death in 1939.  He was also a professor.  The assembly met in his home in 1911, and the breaking of bread was at 11am on Sundays except during Academy vacation.
