Premise
Yvon of the Yukon is about a French explorer, Yvon Ducharme, who embarks on a voyage to North America on behalf of "King Louis". He goes far off his intended course, into the frigid waters off Canada's northern coast, and is knocked overboard when his boat strikes an iceberg. Yvon is cryogenically frozen in a block of ice for 300 years, until a sled dog owned by Inuk teenager Tommy Tukyuk urinates on it and thaws him out. He settles in the town of Upyermukluk, Yukon and attempts to adjust to life in the Yukon among his unusual new neighbours.Cast
