The Rich Lake Rec & Ag Society is a non-profit dedicated to fostering community spirit in the heart of the Lakeland region, serving the communities of Lac La Biche, Bonnyville, Glendon, Mallaig, St. Paul, and Cold Lake. Its grounds include a community hall available for booking, an indoor riding arena used for roping practice and youth gymkhana, and campground accommodations, all of which the society rents out to area residents and visitors through the season.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the grounds, giving the society and area residents a free way to get online for meetings, bookings, and events. The society says the connection has let it run its regular meetings more efficiently, hold a meeting virtually with its accountant joining by video, and keep an active online presence, and it was in place in time for both the federal and the municipal elections.
Use these steps to connect at Rich Lake Rec & Ag Society. 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.
Can’t see the network? Check that Wi-Fi is turned on and ask venue staff where the hotspot is available.
Rich Lake sits well outside any town, with the nearest larger centres a drive away in Lac La Biche, Bonnyville, or St. Paul, and cell coverage this far out can be unreliable. A free Wi-Fi connection at the grounds means volunteers running the hall or arena, and residents dropping by for an event, have a dependable way to get online.
MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. Browse the full hotspot directory, or read about home internet in Rich Lake.
