Go for it. As long as you have no "fear of flying". It's an agonisingly 
long road trip. From whatr Jim has posted over the years Yelowknife
gets largish numbers of Asian touristers come to see the Aroura Borealis.

And it has a vibreant upscale dining scene.

      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      1 lb Ground Pork
      2 tb Bacon fat; divided
      1 md Onion
      1 cl Garlic

  Mince onion and garlic finely, then grind in a mortar and
  pestle until pureed.
  
  In a large skillet, add 1 tb bacon fat and gently fry the
  ground pork. Add the pureed onion and garlic together with
  the spices and continue to cook. Take off the fire.
  
  After mixture cools, press the mixture through a sieve to
  form a puree. Add the beef stock or milk so the mixture is
  spreadable.
  
  Put the mixture into jars and add a small layer of melted
  bacon fat over the top to seal and add extra flavour.
  Refrigerate until used.
  
  Serve on crackers as a snack or on toast for a hearty
  breakfast.
  
  This recipe is reconstructed by Roslind Minault from
  childhood memories of how her grandfather used to make it
  on the family farm in Rocky Lane, Alberta. The concept
  originated in Quebec and is distinctly French-Canadian.
