The Willingdon & District Recreation Centre is a two-storey building on the edge of the hamlet, signed in red lettering above its front steps and joined on one side by an arched-roof arena. A ramp runs up to the double front doors from a gravel and snow-packed lot, and the building is the kind of indoor space a hamlet this size relies on for gatherings and rentals through a long Alberta winter.
Willingdon sits in the County of Two Hills No. 21 at the meeting of Highway 45 and Highway 857, roughly 117 kilometres northeast of Edmonton and northwest of the Town of Two Hills. The area was settled largely by Ukrainian and Romanian immigrant families, and the Willingdon & District Ag Society still runs an indoor riding arena in the hamlet. MCSnet sponsors the free Wi-Fi hotspot at the Rec Centre as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta, so anyone in the building can get online without leaning on a cellular signal.
Use these steps to connect at Willingdon & District Rec 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.

Willingdon is a small hamlet, and the Rec Centre is one of the few buildings in it that fills with people for an event. A free, sponsored Wi-Fi connection means everyone inside can get online, not just whoever happens to have the strongest phone signal that night, and there is no fee and no sign-in page in the way.
