Kind of a weird request.. I drop my son off at school every morning, and then have 2+ hours to fill. Driving back home would be a waste.

It's right around Chinook Mall.

So might as well get some work done, but kind of need Internet.

So far I've been going to the food court in Chinook and they have (had?) free Wifi there, but the past few days it hasn't been working. They also have a Rogers hotspot, but at $40 a month no thanks.

There's a Starbucks there but I don't feel right in using that space every single day for 2.5 hours, to justify it to myself I'd have to buy like 10 coffees.

Any other thoughts on where to go that has free Wifi? I don't mind driving a bit away from Chinook.

I guess ideally I would find an empty office space in the area and rent that (more comfortable), but that seems pretty hard to manage.
