Whitehorse, a city of 20,000 people, is the smallest city to ever host auditions for "Canadian Idol" -- the fourth stop on the show's exhaustive 13-week, cross-country audition tour covering all provinces.

"Canada is the world's second biggest country, but first when it comes to musical talent," said John Brunton, executive producer of the series. "We know we need to be thorough in our search and reach out to this country's remote populations -- we are hoping to be blown away in Whitehorse."
