About Us
In a conversation between the early pioneer Charles Card and Samuel Smith (the brother of Joseph Smith, Jr.), Smith recalled a prophecy by the late prophet given in an 1843 priesthood meeting within the Nauvoo Temple. To Smith's recollection it was stated that "[Canada] would never persecute the Saints as a nation. She would gather up great treasures of gold and yet we should seek refuge in her dominion."
​
​
​
The exhibition title "Great Treasures of Gold" symbolizes not only the material wealth that Canada was prophesied to gather but also the spiritual and cultural riches amassed in over a century of Latter-day Saint presence in Canada. This exhibit celebrates the artistic tradition that has grown from Latter-day Saints in this land of refuge.
