About Mannville Recreation Centre

The Mannville Recreation Centre is the village’s multi-use hall and hockey arena rolled into one complex, hosting everything from minor hockey and figure skating to weddings, banquets, fundraisers, and public meetings. The Mannville Agricultural Society manages the Recreation Centre, and a fitness centre operates in the complex alongside the hall and the arena.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Recreation Centre, so families in the stands, renters running an event, and staff managing the building can all get online without relying on a weak rural signal. It joins three other MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Mannville: the Seniors Drop-in Centre, Crossroads Museum, and the Elks Hall. All four use the same network name and password, so once a phone has joined here it will connect on its own at the other three, and a family moving from the rink to the museum to the hall stays online the whole way.

How to Connect

Use these steps to connect at Mannville Recreation Centre. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.

  1. Open Wi-Fi settings on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
  2. Choose the network named MCSNET FREE.
  3. Enter the password freewifi (all lowercase, no spaces).
  4. You are online. There is no sign-in page and nothing to register.

No MCSnet home internet subscription is needed. Access to the building follows the venue’s opening hours and visitor policies.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

A rink and hall this size pulls in families from farms and acreages around Mannville where mobile data can be unreliable, plus visiting teams and renters who need to check directions or run a point-of-sale system for an event. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the Recreation Centre keeps everyone online whether they are watching a game or running a wedding.

MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. See every free Wi-Fi hotspot in Mannville, the full hotspot directory, or read about internet across County of Minburn.
