Royal Canadian
Sea Cadet Corps
​Dundas

RCSCC DUNDAS open their doors to the young boys of the Dundas area in 1944.  Girls were permitted to join the program in 1975.

RCSCC DUNDAS has been an integral part of the Community of Dundas for 75 years - working closely with the Royal Canadian Legion and other organizations to keep the youth of Dundas, Ancaster, Waterdown, Flamborough and Westdale involved, and keep citizenship alive.

The Corps was named after the HMCS DUNDAS.
HMCS Dundas (K229) Built at Victoria, British Columbia, and commissioned on 1 April 1942, the Flower class corvette Dundas joined Esquimalt Force after working-up, and in August made a round trip as convoy escort to Kodiak, Alaska, in support of the Aleutian campaign.

On 13 September, she sailed for the east coast to replace an Operation TORCH nominee, joining Western Local Escort Force upon arrival at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 13 October. She served with Escort Group W-7 from June 1943, with W-5 from September 1943, and with W-4 from April 1944.

In the course of a major refit at Montreal, Quebec, from 13 June to 19 November 1943, Dundas acquired her extended forecastle. She commenced another long refit early in January 1945 at Liverpool, Nova Scotia, resuming service in April.

Paid off on 17 July at Sorel, Quebec, she was sold later that year and broken up in 1946 at Port Colborne, Ontario.
