LDS Temple Location Annoucement

This temple will be built on more than nine acres located at the corner of Whoop Up Drive West and Mauretania Road West, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Plans call for a multistory temple of approximately 45,000 square feet and an accompanying distribution center.

The Lethbridge Alberta Temple was first announced in April 2023 by Church President Russell M. Nelson. This will be the fourth house of the Lord in the province of Alberta and the 10th overall in Canada. Alberta is home to the first temple built in the country and just the sixth temple built by the Church of Jesus Christ. The Cardston Alberta Temple, which was dedicated one hundred years ago in August 1923 by previous Church President Heber J. Grant, is also the first temple constructed outside of the United States. The other eight temples in operation in Canada are found in the cities of Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg.
