The Canadian Arctic's first mosque is pictured on its opening Wednesday, November 10, 2010 in Inuvik where it will to serve as spiritual home to the area's fledgling Islamic community. The mosque arrived in the small northern town last month after traveling 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) over land and water. The number of Muslims in the town of 4,000 inhabitants in Canada's Northwest Territories has grown steadily in recent years to about 80. They had prayed in a three-by-seven-meter (10-by-23-foot) caravan until they could no longer fit. The worshippers are largely Sunni Muslim immigrants from Sudan, Lebanon and Egypt who moved to Canada's far north in search of jobs and economic opportunities.
