Bruce is a small hamlet on Highway 14 between Viking and Ryley, best known for the Bruce Stampede, billed as Canada’s oldest one-day rodeo, and the Bruce Hotel steakhouse. The Bruce Ag Society is the volunteer group that keeps the rest of the hamlet’s calendar full. It runs a curling rink that doubles as a hall for other functions, plus an outdoor skating rink, and its members organize the Christmas and Easter bingos, an annual Peroghy Supper that draws a crowd, and a comedian and supper night that tends to sell out.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Bruce Ag Society rink, so anyone inside can get online without relying on a cellular signal. That matters on bingo nights and supper nights when the rink is packed, and it matters for the CPR, first aid, and other agriculture-related courses the society runs through the year. The society also lends its support to the Bruce Stampede and local 4-H clubs, so the hotspot serves a wider circle of Beaver County residents than just the hamlet’s 65 or so full-time neighbours.

Cell coverage around a small hamlet like Bruce can be thin, and a lot of the people filling the rink for a bingo night or the Stampede weekend have driven in from farms and acreages nearby. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the Ag Society rink means nobody has to lose touch just because they are out at a community event.
