NASA AERONET satellite image from July 27th 2011 shows smoke plumes in the middle of Canada's Northwest Territories. The fires appear in a region within the upper part of Great Slave Lake inside the Northwest Territories below Artillery Lake. Largest plume of smoke and/or fire is roughly 300 kilometers east of Yellowknife. Historic Fort Reliance is about 30 kilometers between both a larger and smaller plumes.
