  • YouTubeup to ~11,000
  • Instagramup to ~9,500
  • LinkedInup to ~7,400
  • TikTokup to ~5,300

Estimate: adults aged 20+ in Yellowknife (Census 2021) × the share of online Canadian adults who use each platform (TMU Social Media Lab, The State of Social Media in Canada 2025 (summary)). It assumes people here use each platform at the national rate and counts all adults, not only those online, so treat these as upper estimates. Meta’s own audience size for your exact targeting will differ.

  • A younger population (median age 35.2 vs 41.6 for Canada). Instagram and TikTok are worth more budget here.
  • More families with children than Canada (47% of families vs 42%). Family-focused messages and timing around school schedules can help.
  • Median household income is 76% higher than Canada. Premium offers and financing for bigger jobs can land well.
