The Cardston Alberta Temple is one of our favourite temples. It is so unique in that it is one of 3 LDS temples without towers, spirals, or an Angel Moroni statue. It was the very first temple in Canada and also the first LDS temple built outside of the United States. The Site dedication was held on June 27th 1913 by Joseph F. Smith. The groundbreaking occurred on November 9th 1913 by Daniel Kent Greene. The temple was dedicated on the 26th of August 1923 by Heber J. Grant. It was rededicated on June 22 through the 24th of 1991 by Gordon B. Hinkley. The exterior is white granite that was brought from a quarry site near Nelson, BC. The temple is 88 562 square ft. It truly is a beautiful temple. Check out our website at ldsdecor.com to check out our beautifully framed temple picture and more.
