At the time of the announcement, dedicated temples in the country included the Calgary Alberta Temple, Cardston Alberta Temple, Edmonton Alberta Temple, Halifax Nova Scotia Temple, Montreal Quebec Temple, Regina Saskatchewan Temple, Toronto Ontario Temple, Vancouver British Columbia Temple, and Winnipeg Manitoba Temple. The Lethbridge Alberta Temple had been announced at the April 2023 general conference. The country was home to more than 200,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 500 congregations.
