Speaker:  Myno Van Dyke

Topic: The Dutch in Clarington  

Anyone living in this area will have noticed that there is a large and prominent presence of persons of Dutch heritage residing  here.  An immigrant from the Netherlands himself, Myno offers a personal take on why so many persons emigrated to Canada from the Netherlands to Clarington following the Second World War.

Myno Van Dyke is a well known figure in Clarington. A retired police detective, he has  spoken to us previously about a  murder case and investigation in Clarington many years ago. An accomplished local historian and speaker, he has earned various honours for his work in that field and in the community at large 

Myno would very much like to communicate with any member who emigrated from the Netherlands and with their permission share their experience in the presentation.  If you are willing to participate please contact Brian Reid at beareid2@gmail.com or 905-623-2323 who will put you in touch with Myno."
