Stake History[]

2020 New YSA Stake Creation[]

The Church organized a new stake in Alberta on October 11th. The Edmonton Alberta YSA Stake was organized from the Edmonton Alberta Bonnie Doon Stake, the Edmonton Alberta Gateway Stake, the Edmonton Alberta North Stake, and the Edmonton Alberta Riverbend Stake. The new stake includes the following five wards: the Gateway YSA, Kingsway YSA, Mill Creek YSA, Mount Pleasant YSA, and Whitemund Creek YSA Wards. The new stake is the Church's third YSA (young single adult) stake in Alberta following the creation of the Lethbridge Elberta YSA Stake in 2017 and the Calgary Alberta YSA Stake in 2019. There are now 27 stakes in Alberta and 52 stakes in Canada. [1]

A new stake has been created from the Gateway YSA, Kingsway YSA, Mill Creek YSA, Mount Pleasant YSA and Whitemud Creek YSA wards. The Edmonton Alberta YSA Stake was created by Elder LeGrand R. Curtis Jr., General Authority Seventy, and Elder David C. Stewart, an Area Seventy.[2]
