Thorhild is the hamlet at the heart of Thorhild County, sitting at the junction of Highway 18 and Highway 827 about 86 kilometres northeast of Edmonton. It is also one of MCSnet’s completed fiber to the home communities, and the hamlet’s community life runs through a small cluster of volunteer-run buildings: the agriplex where minor and senior hockey, 4-H shows, and cattle shows fill the calendar, and the Golden Age Drop-In Centre where seniors gather for coffee, bingo, and monthly jam sessions.
MCSnet sponsors free public Wi-Fi at community venues serving Thorhild, including the Thorhild & District Ag Society’s agriplex and the Thorhild Golden Age Drop-In Centre. Every hotspot uses the same network name and password, so a device that connects at one venue remembers it at the next, whether that is a rink-side seat at the agriplex or a coffee hour seat at the Drop-In Centre. At both venues there is no fee, no account to create, and no sign-in page to work through.
Use these steps to connect at Thorhild. 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.
