What a Good Connection Actually Gets You

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.

Canada’s Biggest Oil Storage Hub

Hardisty stores roughly one-third of Western Canada’s oil, close to 35 million barrels of capacity spread across terminals like Enbridge’s Hardisty Contract Terminal (about 3 million barrels of salt-cavern storage plus 7.5 million barrels above ground), Husky’s terminal (4.9 million barrels), and Gibson Energy’s Hardisty Terminal, the largest independent storage facility in the hub. Roughly $501 million of oil, about 4.1 million barrels, moves out through Hardisty every day, upwards of 300 trucks pass through daily, and the town is the origin point for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, connecting to the Enbridge Mainline, TC Energy’s Keystone, and the IPL Bow River South systems.

A Railway Town on the Battle River

The Canadian Pacific Railway founded Hardisty around 1904 to 1906 and named it for Senator Richard Hardisty; it was a hamlet by 1906 and a town by 1910. Located near the junction of Highway 13 and Highway 881 in the Battle River Valley, about 111 kilometres from the Saskatchewan border, Hardisty also sits within reach of higher education at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus, Lakeland College, Portage College, and Flagstaff Community Adult Learning; roughly 80 percent of the local workforce holds at least a high school diploma.

Rodeo Weekend and the Ag Society

The Hardisty Rodeo runs July 17-19, 2026, with a pancake breakfast, a street fair and car show, a parade, two days of rodeo, chariot and chuckwagon races, the “Combine Crunch,” and an outdoor dance, with camping right on the rodeo grounds. The Hardisty Agricultural Society, incorporated in 1972, has run Hardisty Lake Park since 1992, with camping, swimming, boating, and trout fishing, and manages the Gibson Energy Centre arena for hockey, skating, curling, and community sports through the winter season.
