The Egremont Community Club runs the Egremont Community Hall, the hub of a hamlet about 37 kilometres north of Fort Saskatchewan in Thorhild County. Volunteers keep the hall busy through the summer with a Friday Harvest Market and pub night, complete with bread baked in a wood fired clay oven, plus bigger events like Egremont Days, perogy suppers, crib tournaments, and the winter Smoresland gathering with free skating and a bonfire.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the hall, giving vendors at the Harvest Market, players at pub night, and families at Egremont Days a place to get online without relying on thin rural cell coverage. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Thorhild County, alongside the Radway Ag Society and the venues in the Hamlet of Thorhild, and all of them share the same network name and password.
Where: 4904 50 Street, Egremont, Alberta.

Egremont’s events pull people in from across the county, and a hamlet this size does not always have strong cell coverage to match. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection means a market vendor can run a card reader, a family can post photos from Egremont Days, and a visitor can find the schedule for the next event, all without burning through their own data.
MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. Browse the full hotspot directory, or read about internet across Thorhild County.
