Free Public Wi-Fi Across Viking

Viking sits where Highway 14 and Highway 36 cross in Beaver County, about 120 kilometres east of Edmonton, and is best known as the hometown of the six Sutter brothers who all reached the NHL. It is a small town where a Legion hall, the Ag Society’s community hall, the historical museum in the old hospital at the end of Main Street, a church, a nine-hole golf course at the Multiplex, and a busy seniors centre all do double duty as gathering places for the farms and acreages around them.

MCSnet sponsors free public Wi-Fi at community venues across Viking, including Royal Canadian Legion Branch 81, the Viking and District Agricultural Society, the Viking Historical Society museum, Viking United Church, Viking Golf and Country Club, and the Viking Senior Citizens Club. Each hotspot uses the same network name and password, so a phone, tablet, or laptop that connects at one venue will connect automatically at every other one in town, and at every other MCSnet sponsored hotspot across rural Alberta. There is no sign-in page and nothing to register at any of them.
