The Waskatenau Senior Citizens Centre is the drop-in gathering spot for older residents in the village and the farms around it in Smoky Lake County. The village core is small enough to cross on foot, and the Pine Creek Manor and Waskatenau Manor independent living residences sit within easy walking distance of the ballpark, the curling club, the community centre, the churches, the schools, the parks, and the shops on main street.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the centre, so anyone visiting can get online without relying on a home connection or a cellular signal that can be thin this far out on the highway. Waskatenau’s other MCSnet sponsored hotspots, the Victoria Trail Ag Society Fitness Centre and the Waskatenau Community Centre, use the same network name and password, so a phone that connects here remembers it at both.
Use these steps to connect at Waskatenau Senior Citizens Centre. 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.

Cell coverage is unreliable across much of Smoky Lake County, and a centre like this is where a lot of older residents go to sit down with other people. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the centre means they can video call family, check appointments, or just browse online while they are there.
