The Thorhild & District Agricultural Society runs the agriplex in the Hamlet of Thorhild, at the junction of Highway 18 and Highway 827 about 86 kilometres northeast of Edmonton. The volunteer-run facility is the community hub for minor and senior hockey, dance clubs, 4-H events, cattle shows, school programs, and the other gatherings that fill a small county’s events calendar.
MCSnet provides complimentary internet to the agriplex as part of its Community Connections program, and sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot there so parents in the bleachers, coaches sharing instructional videos, and volunteers running the concession can all get online. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in the Thorhild area, alongside the Thorhild Golden Age Drop-In Centre nearby and the ag society halls in Egremont and Radway.
Use these steps to connect at Thorhild & District Ag Society. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.

The agriplex is where Thorhild gathers through the winter, and a free connection reaches everyone in the building: parents waiting through a practice can keep working, coaches can share instructional videos with players, and families can stay in touch with relatives watching from a distance.
