Try taking summer vacations there with the kids. Start to connect with people who live there. They are tough and like the cold.
Let them know your plans and that you are looking.
An example of cold loving warm hearted souls:
Wrong side of the north, but last time I flew south, Nov21-Dec1, my new friend beside me from a small community with big storms was commenting with horror as she got her first look of
land down south (tail and of Gatineau maiuntain range where my homestead is and there was snow of
course, but approaching our little capital) there was little snow and then less: "Its getting worse!" And then of course no snow in Ottawa.
