Canuck Mormon Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 After many years of having to drive either 3 hours north or 3 hours south to attend the Temple, we're finally getting one in Calgary!!!! The saints here have wanted a Temple for many, many years. My parents were so excited that they called, even though they are in SLC right now. I'm sure it will be a "mini" Temple, but at least it's a Temple. Quote
thejason Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 This is a sign that someday Canadia may be a real country. Quote
Nibowaka Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Hey, theJason - And maybe someday you'll learn to spell Canada. Canuck Mormon - Very happy for you. :) Quote

Winnie G Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I was to happy for those who live in Calgary! We chose to live were we do so we are 45 min from Cardston Temple. how far away a temple is was a major factor as to were we retired to. I loved the fact Rome is getting one too, (side ways smile) Quote
Lbybug Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 i only live just over an hour from the cardston temple, but it will definately be nice for the Calgary saints to not have such a long trek to the temple now. Quote
Tough Grits Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 WOO HOO. Yay for you.
