Cardston Alberta Temple

The Cardston Alberta Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cardston, Alberta. It was the eighth temple constructed and is the sixth still in operation. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 12, 1912, by church president Joseph F. Smith, during the church's general conference. It was both the first temple built in Canada and outside the United States. There are four temples in the province of Alberta and ten operated by the church in Canada.

The temple's distinctive cross shape, one of two such temples built in this style, and absence of spires are distinctive characteristics of the structure. The temple was crafted by Harold W. Burton and Hyrum Pope, drawing inspiration from American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Their design was unique in use of geometric decorative elements, and with integration of the surrounding natural environment. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 9, 1913.
