Selling a school uniform in Yellowknife
Yellowknife is the territorial capital on the shore of a very large lake, built first on gold and now on diamond mining, and it is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Winter roads across the ice are a normal part of how the region is supplied.
The town is compact and everything is a short drive. Extreme cold is the real constraint for several months of the year — vehicles are left running and outdoor handovers need to be brief, so agree somewhere you can both step inside.
On anything with a battery, seals or hydraulics, ask how it was stored through winter. Extreme cold here is a different order from the south, and it kills batteries and perishes rubber outright.
Yellowknife, in Northwest Territories, has around 20,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Montreal and Calgary are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
