About Breynat Community Centre

The Breynat Community Centre is a volunteer-run hall serving the hamlet of Breynat in Athabasca County, on the northern stretch of the county away from the larger population centres of Athabasca and Boyle. A small volunteer board keeps the hall open for local events and works to build out the recreation grounds around it, including the ball diamonds used for community games through the summer.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the centre, and the volunteers who run the hall put it to practical use: monitoring the building’s heating system through the winter, running the alarm system, and keeping the hall online for events. MCSnet’s community partnership program has also supported improvements to the recreation grounds around the hall, including a new baseball dugout for the ball diamonds. For a hall run entirely by volunteers, a free, dependable connection is one less thing to manage on top of everything else the board takes care of.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

A small hamlet hall like Breynat’s runs on volunteer time and a tight budget, and monitoring a building through an Alberta winter without a reliable internet connection is a real risk. A sponsored Wi-Fi connection lets the volunteers who run the centre keep an eye on heating and security year round.
