Winnipeg Meeting Room, MB

The Winnipeg Meeting Room is theorized to be the oldest known Exclusive Brethren (EB) assembly throughout the province of Manitoba, and is also the oldest known assembly in general. The oldest correspondent listed within resources available is 1879 with N. Stovel. By 1889, they were Robert Block and C.M. Rubidge. In 1894, it was Joseph Doupe, who served until his death in 1910. And so and so forth.
