History
Duquen-Nord Assembly, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Central Quebec, Canada was a French open brethren assembly in the home of David Deschenes, founded prior to 1935 and active through 1967. Early on, meetings were attended by some who had been evangelized by John Spreeman and/or had moved here from the Girardville assembly.
By 1946, this assembly along with that at Girardville in the Lac St-Jean region were still small in number but carried on courageously in spite of a campaign of opposition which had been mounted against them by the local Roman Catholic clergy.
According to Roy Buttery, this never really materialized into an bona fide assembly. Perhaps this explains why the actual name of the assembly is unknown and why it never appeared in the list of assemblies published annually in News of Quebec.
