Free Public Wi-Fi Across Andrew

Andrew is a small village of Ukrainian heritage on Highway 855 northeast of Edmonton, known locally for the giant roadside mallard duck that greets visitors on the way into town and for the Andrew & District Agricultural Society’s fall Garlic Festival. Life in the village runs through a handful of buildings close together: the arena where minor hockey and public skating happen all winter, the Community Centre that hosts everything from weddings to the Garlic Festival itself, and the Lions Club on Main Street with its weekly coffee hour and outdoor mini golf course.

MCSnet sponsors free public Wi-Fi at all three venues serving Andrew: the Andrew Arena, the Andrew Community Centre, and the Andrew Lions Club. Every hotspot uses the same network name and password, so a phone that connects at the rink remembers it at the Lions Club and the Community Centre too, whether you are there for a hockey game, a wedding, or a round of mini golf.
