The Dundas Valley Historical Society is pleased to announce the availability of the 2010 Dundas Heritage Calendar.

Produced by Northshore Publishing, each month features a black-and-white historic image of Dundas to go along with historic monthly milestones. The cover features a rare 1940s photograph of Du and Sue Wong at the door of their new DeLuxe Diner.

The 2010 Dundas Heritage Calendar is on sale at our monthly Speaker Series presentations and can also be purchased at select locations throughout Dundas including Cole's at University Plaza, the Dundas Town Hall (Dundas Municipal Services Centre), the Carnegie Gallery, Co-Co Tea, Gray’s Florist, Picone’s, the Dundas Museum & Archives, and the Horn of Plenty.

$17.00 each, taxes included. A great holiday gift for the Dundas history lover in your family—or for yourself. This is a fund-raising project of the Society and a percentage of all sales accrues to us to support our programming
