In the city of Toronto, Yonge-Dundas Square is a prominent landmark and commercial centre. Dundas Street is a main thoroughfare of the city. In 2020, over 14,000 people signed an online petition to rename the street in light of Dundas’ actions regarding slavery. In response, Toronto City Council convened to consider further actions to take on all streets and landmarks in the city bearing Dundas’ name.

In June 2020, the Edinburgh City Council voted to install a new plaque on the Melville Monument acknowledging Dundas’ role in deferring the abolition of the slave trade.
