Mallaig is a hamlet in the County of St. Paul, founded during railway construction and named by a Scottish worker for the town of Mallaig back home. The old rail line through the hamlet is now the Iron Horse Trail, and the Mallaig & District Ag & Recreational Association runs the facilities that keep the community together the rest of the year, including the community hall, ball diamonds, a campground, a curling rink, and the arena on Park Avenue.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Mallaig Arena and Curling Rink, so anyone in the building can get online during a hockey game, a curling bonspiel, or a quiet weekday skate. Families driving in from farms around Mallaig, students from École Mallaig Community School, and visitors passing through on the Iron Horse Trail can all connect without burning cellular data.
