Dependable internet is not a luxury anymore. It is family movie night streaming without the spinning wheel, the kids gaming with friends two provinces over, a video call to a child working away, and a rural business reaching customers anywhere. It is a full house of phones, TVs, laptops, and cameras all running at once without anyone shouting to get off the internet.
MCSnet is built to carry all of it. Check what reaches your address and we will show you the speeds available where you live, then help you match them to how your household actually uses the internet.
Colinton sits on Highway 663, about 4 km east of Highway 2 and 20 km south of the Town of Athabasca. Landowner James Maurice Milne named it after his Scottish birthplace when the railway came through; before that it was known as Kinnoull. Early settler David Hay opened a store and post office here in 1910 and served as postmaster from 1911.
It is a small, close-knit place, home to around 170 people across two designated areas, Colinton and McNabb’s. Small does not mean disconnected: MCSnet’s fiber build reaches every address in the hamlet.
The Colinton Community Centre, run by the Colinton Community Club, is the hub for local life: a hall, kitchen, and meeting room available for events, and home base for several community clubs. Recent renovations have kept it in good shape for whatever Colinton needs it for next.
Fast, reliable fiber matters here too, whether it is streaming at home, running a small business, or keeping in touch with family down the highway in Athabasca or Boyle.
Colinton’s fiber arrived alongside Boyle and Grassland in a 90 kilometre, $2.25 million MCSnet expansion completed in 2022, half funded by the federal Universal Broadband Fund. See the build on the fiber projects page, and every plan on the plans page. Nearby: Boyle, Grassland, and the Town of Athabasca. Explore the rest of Athabasca County or the wider MCSnet network.
