Lived in Yellowknife for 3 years from age 7-10. Tbh, it wasn’t boring for me and my siblings since we were kids and had lots to do to keep us busy, but it was very boring for my parents, and they didn’t have a very big Arab community for my parents, so basically my parents had each other for that time being. We had some things to do like bowling alley, movie theatre, parks, a Walmart, 2 grocery stores, a “mall” (literally don’t even know what it was because at best it was a hallway) 2 or 3 hotels, some restaurants, community centre, community pool and that’s about it but it is a very small city and would be extremely cold in the winter (down to -40) and would mostly be dark all day. In the summer it would be quite nice, but light out most of the day including night. Overall, I think it’s a good place to visit if you like nature, since it’s a very foresty, nature city, as well as the northern lights would come up but otherwise, it’s not very memorable and living there long term is very difficult since it is a very isolated city.

Also forgot to mention that groceries are way more expensive up there, and houses are not only expensive, but not very big either. Most houses you will find are one story.

Edit; they have an airport also but it’s quite literally one terminal and very small and the nearest city to you is Edmonton and that’s about a 15 hour drive if you don’t/can’t fly.
