Wi-Fi users will be able to access the Internet in specific areas thanks to the City of Elliot Lake.
Elliot Lake CAO, Daniel Gagnon says free Wi-Fi hot spots have been set up around the city in partnership with Vianet.
He says users will detect the “Elliot Lake Hotspot WiFi” network, scroll down the page and accept standard terms to be connected to the free service.
Gagnon says that Wi-Fi signal strength is not guaranteed and will be monitored against abuse. It is not intended to replace traditional internet providers but rather add a complimentary service to assist residents and visitors when enjoying municipal facilities or parks.
The list of hot spots includes City Hall, Miners’ Memorial Park, Spine, and Spruce Beach, Centennial Arena, WH Collins Hall, Parsons Park, Westview Trailer Park, Fire Tower Lookout, Westview Park, Municipal Airport, and Ruben Yli-Juuti Municipal Pool.
In the spring of 2020, the Elliot Lake Public Boat Launch and Fishing Pier will also be included in the free service.
