The Chipman National Hall is a community hall in the Village of Chipman, a small community on Highway 15 between Lamont and Mundare with deep Ukrainian-Canadian roots. Halls like this one are a common sight across this part of Lamont County, where Ukrainian settlers built national homes and churches that still anchor small villages more than a century later, and Chipman’s own Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary sits nearby as part of that same heritage.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the National Hall, so anyone at a meeting, a rental, or a community event can get online in a village where cell coverage can be uneven. It is one of two MCSnet hotspots in Chipman, with the Chipman Golden Seniors Club a short walk away connected through the same program.
Use these steps to connect at Chipman National Hall. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.
No MCSnet home internet subscription is needed. Access to the building follows the venue’s opening hours and visitor policies.
Can’t see the network? Check that Wi-Fi is turned on and ask venue staff where the hotspot is available.
In a village as small as Chipman, the National Hall is often the only public building open for a given event, so a reliable free Wi-Fi connection matters more than it would in a bigger town with more options nearby.
