Rochester is a small hamlet east of Highway 2, about 93 kilometres north of Edmonton. The hamlet’s population has declined over the decades to 72 people at the last census, and its community hall, listed by Athabasca County as a summer facility, is one of the few places in town to hold a gathering. The Rochester Golden Age Club is the hamlet’s seniors’ social club, a place for local seniors to gather, visit, and take part in activities.
MCSnet sponsors the Wi-Fi connection at the club so anyone there can stay online for video calls with family, checking the weather, or just browsing during a visit. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Athabasca County, alongside the Grassland Ag Society, Island Lake Memorial Park, and the Perryvale Community Hall, all using the same network name and password.
Use these steps to connect at Rochester Golden Age Club. 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.
