The Irma Horizon Senior Centre is the village’s seniors’ drop-in centre, set on Main Street in the middle of the village. Like most small-town drop-in centres in this part of the province, it gives Irma’s older residents a place to meet and take part in social programming without driving to Wainwright, in a village where the arena and the curling club are the only other public buildings on the MCSnet hotspot list.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the centre, so members can video call family, look up appointments, or browse online without needing a home connection or a strong cell signal. It is one of three MCSnet hotspots in Irma, alongside the Irma Curling Club and the Irma Arena, all sharing the same network name and password, so a phone or tablet that connects at the centre remembers it at either of the other two venues as well.
Where: 4913 50 Main Street, Irma, Alberta T0B 2H0, Irma, Alberta.
Use these steps to connect at Irma Horizon Senior Centre. 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.

Seniors in small villages like Irma are often the residents least likely to have a reliable home internet connection or a data-heavy phone plan, and staying in touch with family or health providers matters just as much here as anywhere. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the drop-in centre gives members an easy way to get online in a familiar, comfortable room.
MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. See every free Wi-Fi hotspot in Irma, the full hotspot directory, or read about internet across MD of Wainwright.
