The earliest known exclusive assembly in Alberta was Lethbridge Meeting Room, started by 1894 by Robert Naysmith as what would later be referenced as a TW-Lowe meeting, that assembly continued thru 1908, and likely went with the Lowe division, which later joined the KLC's. There were a variety of other small meetings in fellowship with others starting in 1901.

1903 was the start of the meeting room in Red Deer county in Division 8 in Southcentral Alberta. E.B. Watson and his wife resided in Spruce Hill in what would then be known as Red Lodge, where they remained thru 1905, living in Bowden 1908-1914, and at the Crystal Springs Farm in 1911 where there was a reading meeting on Sundays at 11 a.m. In 1914, they were joined by Gilbert Grant who served as a secondary correspondent for that year.

By 1917, E.B. had relocated to Innisfail, and by 1923 he was at the meeting room in Edmonton, which had begun in 1903, which continued in some form thru 2005. The Innisfail meeting continued thru 1927, with a contact of Mrs. Schwerdfeger in 1923, and in 1927 with Miss Alma E. Whealon, and William Dodd, the latter of whom had identified with the PB as early as 1921, according to a census of that time period. Mrs. Schwerdfeger was Dodds' wife's mother. John Lockerby was also residing in 1923 at LaCombe in a nearby county of the same name, and may have commuted to Innisfail.

By 1933, Alma had relocated to Knee Hill Valley where she remained thru 1951, joined by Miss E. Adelaide Whealon in 1944. In 1962, Alma had returned to Innisfail where she continued there until 1966.
