WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory (AP) - The Olympic flame is about to light up Canada's North.
The torch relay for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics arrives in Whitehorse of the Yukon Territory on Tuesday. It's the first of more than a dozen communities in the northern territories that will host the flame over the next week.
The torch will swing through the northern edges of the Prairies and travel to northern Quebec.
Celebrations along the way will highlight the region's First Nations and Inuit traditions. The torch will travel by dogsled and Inuit kayak during that leg of the journey.
