Edmonton Alberta Temple
Alberta, Canada · built 1999
The Edmonton Alberta Temple is the 67th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the second in the province of Alberta, following the one in Cardston. Located in Edmonton, the temple serves about 15,700 members in the area. The intent to construct the temple was announced on August 11, 1998, by church president Gordon B. Hinckley. It was dedicated on December 11 and 12, 1999 and was the first in Alberta in a major metropolitan area. The temple serves seven stakes across central and northern Alberta. Designed by Robert Bennett, the building uses a classic modern architectural style, with a single spire that has a statue of the angel Moroni on top, and light gray granite quarried in Quebec on the exterior. The interior include symbolic elements such as wheat and the wild rose—honoring Alberta’s agricultural roots and provincial flower.
