Yellowknife? No way.
They've had more warm and hot weather than Toronto has this summer.
They're far from any oceanic influences, and being not far east of the Rockies
they seem to get a lot of heat pumping up from the Plains and/or chinooks, considering their latitude.
Don't know enough about Watson Lake.
If you want lows in the 50's F 365 days a year, you need to be by the sea.
Northern Newfoundland or Labrador might do... Perhaps parts of the B.C. islands near Alaska. And any place in the Arctic Ocean.
If you want highs never above the 50's, you probably need to be at least 75 degrees north of the equator on one of the Arctic sea islands.
how about Whitehorse? or Old Crow? I know they get into the 40's even in July.

How cold they can get in summer has nothing to do with how hot they can get.
Nearly all parts of Canada can get a hard frost north of 55 degrees any month of the year.
Whitehorse has been hotter than Toronto has ever been in my lifetime.
One time I saw Whitehorse had a high of 39 C (104 F) and it's weather icon was "smoke",
not sunny or cloudy, or rainy... just smoke.
Sure it's overnight lows during the heat wave were in the 60's to mid 70's,
but still with "smoke" as your dominant weather pattern, that's gotta be draining.
Toronto's never been above 37-38 C in my lifetime, but our humidity would easily be twice as thick as Whitehorse or Yellowknife. They might have never had a dewpoint above 70 F, ever. (Could be wrong though)

oh yeah, I know those places can get hot, since they a very similar climate to the interior of Alaska, which is "severe subarctic" where they can hve -60 and 90 degrees in the same year. . Places in the interior of Alaska have reached 95+ and in the same year they have had -75, it's actually quite awesome. One example is Coldfoot, AK. On January 17, 1989 they got down to -76, then in July they got up to 97, in the SAME year.
A warm 99 with 20% humidity and a dew point of 51.
