Meetings, community events, and a hall a short walk from the seniors’ manors: the Waskatenau Community Centre is one of three MCSnet sponsored hotspots in the village.

The Waskatenau Community Centre is the village’s general-purpose hall, the kind of building a small community books for meetings, gatherings, and events of every sort. It sits within easy walking distance of the ballpark, the curling club, the churches, the schools, the parks, the shops on main street, and the Pine Creek Manor and Waskatenau Manor seniors’ residences, putting it at the middle of daily life in a village of a few hundred people surrounded by Smoky Lake County farmland.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the centre, so renters and visitors can get online at an event without relying on the cellular coverage that can be spotty this far northeast of Edmonton. The Community Centre is one of three MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Waskatenau, along with the Waskatenau Senior Citizens Centre and the Victoria Trail Ag Society Fitness Centre, all sharing the same network name and password.

Cell service on this stretch of highway can be unreliable, especially inside a hall built long before anyone worried about signal strength. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection means the volunteers running an event, a caterer keeping in touch with a supplier, or a visiting family from out of town can get online at the Community Centre without hunting for a signal.
