Monday, February 17th, marked Family Day in the Province of Ontario with many businesses and services closed for that day.Over seventeen (17) years, the Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary has teamed up with the Dundas Museum & Archives (DM&A) to co-host Inside/Outside Dundas with events taking place in two (2) venues on that day.
Sunrise Rotary hosted a fulsome 'Outside' program of musical entertainment, free hot chocolate, nearby tobogganing and a youngster-focused 'Shoot2Score' in partnership with the Dundas Jr C hockey club, all focused around the $750,000 Dundas Rotary Rink that our Club constructed and opened to the public in 2009 and turned over to the City of Hamilton.
That day's winter weather of -13C and breezy did not limit a crowd of 250-300 people who came out to enjoy our traditional annual event.
A like crowd enjoyed 'Inside' events at the DM&A.
Of course, both events were free.
