[edit] History
The assembly was originally located on River Road in Hespeler (Cambridge), Ontario, until 1985 when they bought an old Kingdom Hall at 950 Eagle street in Preston. They were in fellowship with the North American Tunbridge Wells group of assemblies up until 1992. According to the "Greet the Friends by Name: May 1990," there were 40 people in fellowship (73 including their children).
[edit] 1992 Division
When the TW's split up in 1992, the assembly currently at Eagle Street sided with Perth, and now associate more with the Open Brethren movement. Those at Eagle Street who sided with the Nepean assembly began meeting at the home of Ralph and Jane Pilkington in Puslinch, where they continue to meet today.
