Yes, that is what I've been told by all kinds of people. Anglophones here come from all over.
There is a common reality which we share, and that is the territory—the Yukon reality. The Yukon is increasingly cross-cultural. It has happened once or twice that there has been friction when people say things like: “We don't speak French here”. It's more like the opposite; it's more difficult to learn English here, because they want to practice their French as well. For example, if I go into a store and someone recognizes my accent, they will start speaking French to me. When they realize that I speak French, they tell me I should have said so before.
So, I don't think there is the kind of friction that exists elsewhere. That said, there is no doubt that there is always room for improvement.
