About Ardmore Community Society

The Ardmore Community Society runs the Ardmore Community Hall at 4910 50 Street, a large hall that seats about 400 people along with a community kitchen and gym. Volunteers keep the hall booked out for weddings, dances, community sales, celebrations of life, family breakfasts, and classes throughout the year, making it one of the busiest gathering spots in this stretch of the MD of Bonnyville.

MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the hall, so anyone attending an event or renting the space can get online without relying on cell signal, which can be thin on the grid roads leading into Ardmore. It is part of the same MCSnet hotspot network that covers venues across the MD of Bonnyville, from the Kinosoo Ridge day lodge to the Bonnyville Historical Society, all using the same network name and password.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

Ardmore is a small hamlet well outside Bonnyville and Cold Lake, and cell coverage along the surrounding grid roads is not always reliable. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the Community Hall means residents coming in for a dance, a meeting, or a family breakfast can stay connected once they walk through the door.

MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. Browse the full hotspot directory, or read about home internet in Ardmore.
