The Church in Canada: Saskatchewan

G. Gordon Whyte of Moose Jaw was the first member of the Church in Saskatchewan. He was baptized in August 1923 and later moved to Regina. Whyte and John G. Allred preached in a street meeting in Regina where they placed 16 copies of the Book of Mormon. The Church sent missionaries to Regina in 1925, organized a congregation there, and dedicated a meetinghouse in 1939. Church membership in Saskatchewan grew from 145 in 1930 to 4,200 in 1990. In November 1999 the Church completed a temple in Regina.
