Thanks for joining me here! I’m Cassondra, a homeschooling, Canadian mom of two living in Yellowknife, and this is a video talking about the myths that we heard about living in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada before we moved here. I talk about things like the Yellowknife weather, Yellowknife food prices, and some things that may deter other people from living here in Yellowknife. I hope this video isn't too rambly for you! lol!

Temperature is funny. I grew up on Vancouver Island and lived in Vancouver for 15 years. Rarely went below 0 or over 22 (Celsius). But those seemed extreme. When we moved to the interior I told my husband I was a “delicate west coast flower.” Not sure I could survive the colder temperatures. But I find anything less than -10 I rarely even wear a coat. When there’s no wind or moisture in the air it doesn’t feel as cold. But I visit my Mom at +2 and the coastal rain chills me to the bone 💜❤️💜.

When it comes to groceries Yellowknife is a little more expensive than places like Alberta...but Yellowknife is nowhere as expensive as Inuvik for food. I lived in Inuvik and it was pretty expensive. Yellowknife is a really neat city, lots to do outdoors. The only drawback is the bugs but they are everywhere in the north...you deal with it.

When people mention the supposed high cost of food I think they are making 2 mistakes: the confuse Yellowknife and Nunavut AND they are remembering stories of Yellowknife from back in the day (00s and before) when stuff was more expensive. Since the construction of the Deh Cho bridge, goods can be brought in to Yellowknife by truck year-round. Prior to this, trucks could go in the summer (ferry) or winter (ice road) but fall and spring required flights in. This is why things were expensive. They’re also just assuming that Yellowknife, which has been connected to the rest of Canada by road since 1960, is like the small, isolated communities of the NWT and Nunavut where you do see the very high prices.

Even in Iqaluit things are affordable compare to the money we make.
