Vannakkam:
On July 27, 28 the Hindu temple of Grande Prairie will open its own temple. Grande Prairie Temple will be Canada's most northerly Hindu temple. This is a small city of only 55 000 people, and maybe 100 Hindu families, a bit more if you consider the surrounding areas. It's a 5 hour drive from Edmonton, so the devotees won't have to make such a long drive to get to a temple.
Personally, I find it really inspiring that such a small center can build a temple. Hopefully, it will tell other communities of similar size that it can be done. And yes, I will be attending the prana prathistha rites.
The world's most northernly temple, in Anchorage m Alaska is only another 3 (long) days drive up the scenic Alaska Highway. Maybe some other time.
