Calgary Alberta Temple
The Calgary Alberta Temple is the 140th temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The intent to build the temple was announced on October 4, 2008, by church president Thomas S. Monson, during general conference. It was the third temple built in Alberta. The first, previously known as the Alberta Temple, was built in Cardston in 1923. The Edmonton Alberta Temple opened in 1999.
The temple has a single attached central spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. This temple was designed by Abbarch Architecture, an architectural firm located in Vancouver, British Columbia. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on May 15, 2010, conducted by Donald L. Hallstrom of the Presidency of the Seventy.
Church president Thomas S. Monson announced the intent to build the Calgary Alberta Temple on 4 October 2008, during general conference. At the time, the temple was intended to serve over 18,000 church members in Calgary and the surrounding areas. The temple is located adjacent to the church's Royal Oak chapel in northwest Calgary.
The groundbreaking on May 15, 2010 was presided over by Donald L. Hallstrom, with other church general authorities and area leaders in attendance, including William R. Walker and Richard K. Melchin. After construction was completed, a public open house was held from September 29 to October 20, 2012, where over 100,000 people toured the temple. A cultural celebration was held October 27, 2012, and the temple was dedicated by Monson the following day.
The first president of the temple was Blair S. Bennett, a former stake president and area seventy from Sherwood Park, Alberta.
In 2020, like all the church's others, the Calgary Alberta Temple was closed for a time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Designed by Abbarch Architecture, the temple's traditional Latter-day Saint design and architecture reflects both the cultural heritage of Alberta and its spiritual significance to the church.
The temple is on a 10.17-acre plot, with landscaping of bushes, flower beds, and trees. These elements are designed to provide a tranquil setting to enhance the sacred atmosphere of the site.
