Blackfoot is a small hamlet in the County of Vermilion River, and its community hall is the building nearly every gathering in town runs through, from wedding receptions and funeral lunches to 4-H meetings and holiday suppers. The hall seats close to 185 people, making it one of the larger indoor gathering spaces for miles around and the natural choice whenever a family or a group needs room for a crowd.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the hall as part of its community partnership program, so anyone renting the space or attending an event can get online without relying on a thin rural cell signal. Caterers can run a card payment, out-of-town family can look up directions, and organizers can print a program from a laptop in the kitchen, all on the same free connection.
Where: 5406 50 Avenue, Blackfoot, Alberta.

Blackfoot sits well off the main highway corridor, and cell coverage in the hamlet can be spotty depending on carrier and time of day. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the community hall means a family hosting a funeral lunch or a wedding reception is not left guessing whether guests from out of town can find directions or stay in touch.
