Free Public Wi-Fi Across Vilna

Vilna is a village of a few hundred people on Highway 28 in Smoky Lake County, northeast of Edmonton, settled by central European immigrants who named the district after Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital. Its Main Street is known for a collection of murals and historic buildings, including the Vilna Pool Hall and Barbershop, a Provincial Historic Resource and the oldest building in the village, billed by tourism listings as Alberta’s oldest operating pool hall and barbershop. The Vilna and District Agricultural Society keeps the village active through the year, running the Agri-Plex for natural ice curling and hockey and the Cultural Centre for the Sunday farmers market and for Boomtown Days.

MCSnet sponsors free public Wi-Fi at three venues in Vilna: the Agri-Plex Arena, the Cultural Centre, and the Pool Hall. 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 Sunday at the farmers market or a stop at the historic pool hall. MCSnet also sponsors a hotspot at the Stry Anniversary Hall, south and east of the village.
