Location
Search for "Sri Ganesh Temple Society of BC" on Google MapsThis temple's exact coordinates aren't confirmed yet, so the link above searches by name and city rather than pointing to a verified spot.
Named in Wikipedia’s directory of Canadian Hindu temples as being located in Vancouver proper — distinct from the Greater Vancouver-area temples already in this directory, which sit in the suburban municipalities of Burnaby and Richmond Hill (itself actually a Toronto suburb, not Vancouver) — the Sri Ganesh Temple Society of BC is dedicated to Ganesha. Beyond its name and city attribution in that list, no founding date, address, founders, or other institutional detail could be independently confirmed this pass, and the underlying list entry itself carries no citation. This entry is included provisionally to flag a specifically Vancouver-proper gap in this directory’s existing British Columbia coverage, and should be treated as needing fuller verification before being considered settled.
Sources
- historical record: Named in Wikipedia's 'List of Hindu temples in Canada' article (British Columbia/Greater Vancouver section) as 'Sri Ganesh Temple Society of BC,' explicitly attributed to Vancouver proper (distinct from the separately-listed ISKCON Vancouver in Burnaby and Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey). No footnote/citation is attached to this specific list entry.
For review
- Sourced only from a bare, uncited Wikipedia list entry naming the temple and attributing it to Vancouver proper; no founding date, address, founders, or architectural detail could be confirmed this pass, and no independent second source was found. This directory's existing Vancouver-area entries (Hindu Temple Burnaby, Vishnu Mandir Richmond Hill) are both technically outside Vancouver's city limits, so this entry — if confirmed further — would be the first Vancouver-proper temple in this directory.
