The newly renovated Alberta Temple, a landmark here for nearly 70 years, will be open for public tours June 6-15, the First Presidency has announced.
The temple has been closed since May 1988 while its electrical and mechanical systems have been updated and the interior has been completely refurbished, Church leaders said.In addition, an entryway has been added to the front of the building.
After the public open house, the temple will once again be closed and rededicated for its normal use.
Twelve separate dedicatory services, under the direction of the First Presidency, have been scheduled for June 22-24. Attendance at those sessions will be by invitation to members of the Alberta Temple District, which includes 22 stakes in Alberta, southeast British Columbia, Sakatchewan, Manitoba, western Ontario and northern Montana.
The temple, one of 44 operating around the world, was originally dedicated in 1923 by President Heber J. Grant.
