The Montreal Quebec Temple is the 86th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The leaders of the Mormon Church announced plans to build a temple in Montreal, Quebec on August 6, 1998. The Montreal Temple is the 6th temple to be built in Canada. It was one of the temples announced with a long list of others, which President of the Mormon Church, Gordon B. Hinckley hoped to have completed by the end of 2000, so that there would be 100 operating temples throughout the world.
