Fawcett is a hamlet in Westlock County, and the Community Hall and Arena sits at the centre of it, alongside sportsgrounds and beach volleyball courts. The arena is used for recreational hockey through the winter, and the hall seats up to three hundred, with a kitchen and bar available for rentals, meetings, and community events.
The hall and arena are run by the Progressive and Coordinating Ag Society, known locally as the Fawcett Ag Society, and together they are the hub for a hamlet about 50 km north of the Town of Westlock. MCSnet sponsors the internet connection there as part of its community partnership program, so hockey families, event renters, and anyone at the sportsgrounds can get online without using cellular data. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Westlock County, alongside the Busby Community League, the Highridge Ag Society hall near Pickardville, and the Westlock Community Hall.
Use these steps to connect at Fawcett Community Hall and Arena. 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.

Fawcett is well outside Westlock, and cell coverage can be unreliable for the families who drive in from surrounding farms for hockey, hall events, or a day at the sportsgrounds. A free Wi-Fi connection at the hall and arena means parents in the stands and anyone renting the space can stay connected without hunting for a signal.
