What's here:
 A list of all annual gatherings of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada and now the Mennonite Church Canada.
 

Annual Assemblies since 1903
   

Mennonite Church Canada holds annual assemblies to praise and worship God, grow personally through workshops and seminars, become informed about and process business, hear reports on the work of the church, and celebrate our faith journeys together.

Planning meetings for the first conference sessions in 1903 were held in 1902 at Tiefengrund (SK). Delegate sessions have been held annually since then. Historians and statisticians will enjoy mulling over this information.
