Weddings, concerts, dances, and the family gatherings that fill the hall on a Saturday night: the Bon Accord Community Centre is an MCSnet sponsored hotspot.

Bon Accord is a small town on Highway 28 north of Edmonton, and its community centre is the hall the whole town rents when it needs a room big enough for a crowd. A local community league handles the bookings rather than the town office, and the space fills up for weddings, concerts, dances, drama productions, and the kind of family gatherings that a town this size still holds in person rather than online.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Community Centre, so whoever has booked the hall for the weekend does not have to run their own hotspot for a payment terminal, a slideshow, or a video call to a family member who could not make the trip. Bon Accord is also known as Canada’s first International Dark Sky Community, and locals who come into town for a stargazing event or an evening out can rely on the same connection at the hall.
Where: 4931 50 Avenue, Bon Accord, Alberta.

A community hall that hosts everything from concerts to wedding receptions needs internet that works for whoever has booked it that day. Free Wi-Fi means a caterer can run a card reader, a family can stream a slideshow, and nobody has to ask the town to set up a special connection for their event.
