About Lac La Biche Mission Historical Society

The Lac La Biche Mission Historical Society preserves one of Alberta’s oldest mission sites, a large property on the shore of Lac La Biche recognized as both a National Historic Site and a Provincial Historic Resource. The 45 acre site includes a fully restored 1894 convent along with several other restored historical buildings, and the society runs an interpretive centre with guided tours through the buildings for visitors, researchers, and school groups. A short drive from the hamlet of Lac La Biche, the site also hosts community events such as a Canada Day gathering with music, breakfast, and craft sales.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the mission site, so tour groups, volunteers, and interpretive centre staff can get online without relying on cell signal this far from town. It joins the Craigend Rec and Ag Society, the Rich Lake Rec & Ag Society, and both the Plamondon Curling Club and Plamondon Museum as MCSnet sponsored hotspots elsewhere in Lac La Biche County.

Where: 67453 Mission Road, Lac La Biche, Alberta.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

The mission site sits a short drive outside the hamlet of Lac La Biche, and cellular coverage can be spotty along the shoreline. A free Wi-Fi connection at the interpretive centre means staff can process a membership sign-up or handle a booking, and a visiting researcher or school group can look something up mid-tour, without losing signal.

MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. Browse the full hotspot directory, or read about high speed internet in Lac La Biche.
