History

Announced on May 25, 2006, the temple is located on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) site at 200 Street and 82 Avenue in the suburb of Langley. Groundbreaking was held on August 4, 2007.[4] A public open house was held 9–24 April 2010 prior to the dedication of the temple on 2 May 2010.[5] Following dedication, only church members in good standing may enter an LDS temple.

In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Vancouver British Columbia Temple was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
