Hikawa Maru
The CAHA chose Dunn as its representative to accompany the Kenora Thistles on an international goodwill exhibition tour of Japan in March 1954. Journalist Ted Bowles of the "Winnipeg Free Press" wrote that Dunn's selection to represent the CAHA "could be classed as a reward for his labours in the cause of sport for many years, especially the sport of hockey". On the seven-week tour, Dunn handled the business affairs for the Kenora Thistles and travelled with the team aboard the Japanese ocean liner "Hikawa Maru" from Vancouver.
