History
Announced on May 25, 2006, the temple is located on a site at 200 Street and 82 Avenue in the suburb of Langley. To signify the beginning of construction, Ronald A. Rasband presided at a groundbreaking ceremony on August 4, 2007. A public open house was held 9–24 April 2010 prior to the dedication of the temple on 2 May 2010, by church president Thomas S. Monson. Following dedication, only church members with a temple recommend are permitted to enter the temple.
In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Vancouver British Columbia Temple was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
