From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dundas, Ontario, Canada held a town charter between 1848 and 2001. Its nickname is the Valley Town and has a latitude and longitude of 43°15′46″N, 79°57′35″W.

The population has been stable for decades at about twenty thousand, largely because it has not annexed rural land from the protected Dundas Valley Conservation Area. Now operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority, the area links up directly and indirectly with the Bruce Trail. Other green spaces include the Dundas Driving Park, Veterans Park and Cootes Paradise.

Notable events are the Buskerfest in early June, while the Dundas Cactus Festival is held annually in August. [1]
