Hiya!
Me...born in Crescent City. Moved to...*surprise*...Van Nuys California at about 9mo and raised there until 9 years. So, uh, yeah... "I've heard of it..." (iirc, my address was, iirc, on a cul-de-sac called Bonanza Street...second or third house down on the left; looked at the street just now on GoogleMaps...looks VERY LITTLE like how it was back in the 70's...go figure).
Yeah...population is small (total population of the ENTIRE YUKON TERRITORY is just over 35k), but we have a lot of wilderness. I believe the total square KM of the Yukon is about 482k square Kilometers (California is only 411k square Kilometers), and our population density is about 0.1/sq km (Cali = 92.6/sq km). In other words, every man, woman, and child in the Yukon could have about 10 square kilometers to themselves.
RPG'ers are actually fairly 'common', actually. However, they tend to be in close nit groups who rarely venture out into the wild. Also, because it's still small'ish in numbers, people/groups tend to get a "reputation"; basically, styles of play. Me and my group enjoy generally "unforgiving" campaigns (think Olde Skool), and there aren't many other folks who enjoy it. Those that do...well, they have their own groups. So finding others who are willing to "give old skool a try" tend to be...rare.

No. At least, not so far, where I am. There seems to be a high demand for 5e DMs. Of any kind of game.
Now in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada with a total population of 23,000 (where you are from) I can imagine it might be more difficult to find players...of any kind. I live in a suburb of a suburb of Los Angeles, and my small suburb that you've likely never heard of (Van Nuys, a suburb of the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles) has five times the total population of your entire city, which itself is the capital and largest city of your entire province. If 0.05% of the entire population of your city plays D&D, you'd have 12 total players (rounding up) and LA would have over 5085. There is a pretty impressive difference in scale between us concerning how many players might be available for a game.
