Langford Earmarked as Location for B.C.'s 2nd Mormon Temple

The new temple will serve approximately 250 people and exceed Langford's 15% greenspace restoration requirement, enhancing community diversity and connectivity, officials said.

  • Amid growing membership, Langford’s Sustainable Development Advisory Committee recommended considering a zoning amendment for a new LDS temple on 4.6 acres at 2750 Leigh Rd., set to be B.C.’s second and Canada’s 11th.
  • Amid growing membership, plans for a Greater Victoria temple were first announced in April 2024 by LDS president Russell Nelson at the church’s annual general conference in Utah.
  • Amid zoning changes, Beedie submitted an application to amend the mixed-use employment zone, with plans to surpass the city’s minimum requirement of 15 per cent greenspace and restored habitat.
  • Councillors will review the recommendation at the Aug. 18 council meeting, with Coun. Lillian Szpak calling it an `opportunity to heal and beautify` and Coun. Mary Wagner saying it `enriches our community`.
  • Taking the coming year and more, the development team plans to refine the plans to create a sanctuary beginning at the property lines.
