[edit] History

In 1909, a number of brethren from Scotland had come out to work in the coal mines around Sydney Mines on Cape Breton Island, the eastern portion of Nova Scotia. They began an assembly and arranged to hold their first Conference at Christmas, 1910. The Sydney Mines Gospel Hall was erected, but the little assembly was only nicely under way when a split occurred and only a small number remained to carry on. The assembly continues today.
