CityOpenWiFi

What is CityOpenWiFi?

CityOpenWiFi is a free public wireless internet service provided by the City of Whitehorse to support residents, visitors, and community members while accessing City facilities and public spaces. It is intended for casual, short-term use such as browsing the web, checking email, and accessing online services.

CityOpenWiFi is offered as a convenience, not as a guaranteed or secure internet service. Think of it as a public utility, like a bench or a sidewalk, but for bits and bytes.

• Whitehorse Operations Building
• City Hall
• Public Safety Building
• Frank Slim Building at Shipyards Park
• Linda Rapp Landing at Robert Service Campground

This is a public network. The City does not guarantee privacy, security, speed, or availability. The service is provided “as is” and may be limited, monitored, interrupted, or discontinued at any time.

Use this service wisely

Avoid accessing sensitive or confidential information. If it is something you wouldn’t shout across a lobby, it probably shouldn’t be done on public Wi-Fi.
