The Olympic flame made its way around in Yellowknife on Thursday as part of the northern leg of its 106-day cross-Canada tour leading up to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.

An Air North jet transported the flame to the Northwest Territories capital from Kugluktuk, a hamlet of 1,300 in western Nunavut.

Torchbearers in Kugluktuk were treated to an Inuit cultural showcase that involved music and dancing.

The flame landed at Yellowknife at 2 p.m. MT and was taken to the nearby communities of Dettah and N'dilo. The torch relay itself began from N'dilo, crossing through Yellowknife, at 4:20 p.m. MT.

A community celebration is set to take place at the end of the relay.
