Old Colony Mennonite Church (Cecil Lake, British Columbia, Canada)
The Old Colony Mennonite congregation at Cecil Lake, British Columbia, began services in 1958. The congregation originated through colonization from Saskatchewan and Cheslatta, BC. The group was very conservative. Unlike other Old Colony Mennonite congregations in Canada, the church did not allow cars or government pensions. The congregation was part of the Old Colony Mennonite Church. The language of worship was German.
In a 2008 publication it was reported that the church had recently dissolved.
