Royal Canadian Legion Branch 68 sits on 1st Avenue in Ashmont and has served the hamlet and the surrounding Mann Lakes cottage country for a long time as a veterans’ branch and community hall. Like Legion branches across small-town Alberta, it hosts meetings, dinners, fundraisers, and the kind of rental events that keep a hamlet’s social calendar running, and the branch is behind Ashmont’s own cenotaph honouring local veterans of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the branch, so anyone attending an event or dropping by can get online without relying on cell signal, which can be thin in this part of the county. It is one of two MCSnet hotspots in Ashmont, alongside the Ashmont Ag Society grounds, and it sits close to the lake communities around Floatingstone, Mann Lakes, and the Iron Horse Trail staging area that bring extra traffic through the hamlet each summer.
