Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the town where he was born, as he travelled across the Northwest Territories.
Carney spent his early childhood in Fort Smith, south of Yellowknife along the Alberta boundary, before he moved with his family to Edmonton.
On Wednesday, he visited the town's community centre, spoke with children attending a local summer camp and discussed affordability issues and employment with their parents.
Carney also met with Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson and discussed wildfires with community leaders. He headed to Inuvik in the territory's northwest corner Wednesday evening.
There, he toured a community centre with Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, a national organization representing Inuit.Â
On Thursday, Carney and Obed co-hosted the meeting of the Inuit-Crown Partnership Committee, where the prime minister discussed his government's controversial major projects legislation.
Here are some scenes from Carney's visit and the meetings.
