Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 grew out of the veterans group that raised the Vermilion Cenotaph, and its hall on Railway Avenue is now one of MCSnet’s sponsored free Wi-Fi hotspots in town.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11, also known as the Field Marshal Alexander Branch, sits on Railway Avenue in Vermilion and has anchored the town’s veteran and community life for generations. The Vermilion Cenotaph, which honours local war dead and remains the site of the town’s Remembrance Day observances, was originally erected by the Vermilion Branch of the Great War Veterans’ Association, the group that later became Legion Branch 11. Like Legion branches across small-town Alberta, Branch 11 hosts meetings, dinners, fundraisers, and hall rentals that keep the community’s social calendar running.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the Legion hall, so anyone attending an event, a meeting, or a rental can get online without hunting for a signal. It is one of two MCSnet hotspots in Vermilion, the other being the Vermilion Elks Hall Society a short drive away, and both use the same network name and password.
Where: 5144 Railway Avenue, Vermilion, Alberta.

Vermilion is the service hub for a large stretch of the county, but a hall full of guests at a fundraiser or a Remembrance Day gathering can still put real strain on indoor cell coverage. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the Legion means members, visiting family, and event guests can stay connected without digging into their own data.
