Smoky Lake is a small town in east central Alberta, known locally as the Pumpkin Capital of Alberta for the Great White North Pumpkin Weigh-off and Fair held there each fall. The town’s Ukrainian heritage runs deep, from the Ukrainian National Hall downtown to the farms settled throughout the surrounding county, and its historic Canadian Northern railway station, one of the oldest surviving buildings of its type in Alberta, now serves double duty as a museum and visitor centre. A Saturday farmers market, a curling club, and a seniors’ drop-in centre in a former dance hall and movie theatre round out the buildings where residents and visitors gather through the year.
MCSnet sponsors free public Wi-Fi at four venues in Smoky Lake: the CN Station Museum, the Curling Club, the Ukrainian National Hall, and the Drop-In Centre. Every hotspot uses the same network name and password, so a device that connects at one venue remembers it at the rest, whether that is a stop at the museum, a bonspiel at the rink, or an afternoon of cards at the drop-in centre.
Use these steps to connect at Smoky Lake. 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.
