hate to tell you this but a bunch of friends and I went duck hunting in Canada, we were at the border and it turned out that one of them had a DUI 2 years ago. they let him through but only after he had to pay $250 US for the privilege, they also kept close record of when he came back through to the US. I would if you, call the Canadian customs and ask. Its better than finding out at the border like he did

Honesty is the best policy... Canada runs your license through their NCIC and if you have Any kind of a felony you will have to bond up to continue to Alaska.
Many misdemeanors in the States are classified as a felony in Canada.
The bond runs $250.00, and as you have no further issues you should have no problem. When you cross into Alaska at Port Alcan, the Mounties will be notified by our customs folks you have successfully transited their country.
Make sure you take along a Milepost, and a Bell's guide for your trip. I have included a couple of web sites to help in the planning.
Have asafe trip and Welcome to Alaska!

Those with offences more than ten years old may be admitted without paying the $200 fee under the new “deemed rehabilitation” clause. (Those with a more recent conviction may still be refused entry or be required to pay the processing fee.)
Check out the link in sources below. Several websites suggest you get a ruling from a Canadian consulate before you travel.
It seems it is up to the Border staff , but if they ask , you might be denied entry. There seems to be a waiver which may be granted , but its $200 or $250 and takes several weeks to get .

Canadian customs is a joke. They look at your ID, they look at your stuff, and that's it. No background check. No pulling you ot of the car and frisking you, etc.
