Dundas is home to one of the oldest and few remaining parachuting clubs in North America, Skydive SWOOP (Southwestern Ontario Organization of Parachutists), [5] fully run by volunteer members, started in 1978.

 Sharron L. McElmeel
One of the best known varieties of apple, the McIntosh apple, was a variety discovered, it is generally agreed, in 1796 by John McIntosh when he discovered the first of the variety growing on his family farm in Dundas County, Ontario.
In educational materials developed by the Education Committee of the Botanical Society of America and shared on their site Growth and Development, John McIntosh's parents emigrated from Scotland to the British colonies (Mohawk Valley, New York) in the early 1700s.
Regardless of McIntosh's reason for arriving in Canada or why he eventually ended up in Dundas County, there seems to be no dispute about his discovery or propagation of the McIntosh Red variety of apple.
