Montreal Quebec Temple

The Montreal Quebec Temple is the 86th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is located in Longueuil, Quebec, across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal. The intent to construct the temple was announced on August 6, 1998, by church president Gordon B. Hinckley during a visit to Canada. It became the first temple built in Quebec and the sixth in Canada. The temple has a single spire with a gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni on its top, and is constructed from Bethel white granite. It was designed by architect Andrij Serbyn of Sichten Soiferman and the church's architectural services group, using a classic modern style. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 9, 1999, led by Gary J. Coleman, a church general authority. The temple was dedicated on June 4, 2000. From 2014 to 2015, the temple underwent extensive renovations due to water damage, including structural upgrades, new ordinance room murals, and remediation efforts. It was rededicated on November 22, 2015, by Henry B. Eyring of the church's First Presidency. To celebrate the rededication, more than 400 youth participated in a cultural event titled Je me souviens, reflecting the area's rich spiritual and cultural legacy.
