Another temple for Alberta
CALGARY, Alberta — As Latter-day Saint colonizers moved into the southern part of Canada's Alberta province in the late 19th century, they established communities such as Cardston, Magrath and Raymond.
With continued church growth, it was announced in 1913 that a temple would be built in Cardston. The Cardston Alberta Temple was dedicated by President Heber J. Grant on Aug. 26, 1923. With the dedication of the Edmonton Alberta Temple by President Gordon B. Hinckley on Dec. 11-12, 1999, Alberta had a temple to the far south and another in the north.
The gap in the middle will now be filled as President Thomas S. Monson announced in October 2008 general conference that a temple will be built in Calgary.
