Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has begun a tour of parts of the Northwest Territories that were ravaged by a record wildfire season.
About 20 people have returned, but many are staying elsewhere in the territory and other parts of Canada.

Eighty-year-old Amy Mercredi recently returned to the community and said she cried when she saw the reality that the home she'd lived in for decades was gone.
