The Cardston Alberta Temple is the eighth constructed and sixth operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in the town of Cardston, Alberta, it was the second LDS temple built outside of the United States, the first one being the Laie Hawaii Temple (Hawaii was not yet a state). It is one of only nine LDS temples that does not have an angel Moroni statue, and one of only three that was constructed without spires in a manner similar to Solomon's Temple (the other two were the Laie Hawaii Temple and the Mesa Arizona Temple).
