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.

The prime minister stopped in his hometown of Fort Smith, N.W.T., Wednesday to tour an area impacted by wildfire and talk with locals about food insecurity. He'll visit Inuvik later in the day to meet with Inuit leaders.
