Graduation Year

Kevin graduated from the Television Broadcasting Program at Mohawk College in 1986. During his years at Mohawk, Kevin won numerous awards including the Agnes M Anderson "Andy Award" for excellence in television, the William K. Warrender Scholarship for distinguished contribution to student affairs, and a gold medal at his Convocation, for overall excellence in academic and community involvement. While at the College, Kevin worked part-time at CHCH-TV in Hamilton and was involved with several community groups and organizations, including the United Way, help groups for the disabled, and the St. Anne's Church Choir.

In October of 1986, Kevin moved to Manitoba to help sign-on the Manitoba Television Network (MTN). He worked his way up the ladder and attained the challenging position of Promotions Manager and Producer for Craig Broadcast Systems, and MTN. In this position, Kevin was responsible for all aspects of station image, on and off-air. He won a National Can Pro Award, honouring excellence in Canadian television. From 1987 to 1992 he hosted and produced "Bundy's Late Night Revue", a show which was number one in its timeslot, even beating out Arsenio and The Tonight Show! Kevin's love for children led him to develop a kid's show called the "MTN Kid's Club". Since 1981, Kevin has been producer, writer, host and puppeteer on this 40,000 member kids club. Kevin has also worked closely with Disney Canada on many of his projects. The Winnipeg Free Press claims that Kevin "Bundy" Dunn is "The Guy most responsible for putting an identifiable face on MTN's first on air decade".

Recently, Kevin took on a new challenge, leaving his position with MTN to join Mid Canada Video Services Inc., Manitoba's premier production facility. As Manager, Production and Marketing, Kevin oversees development and implementation of national marketing strategies, and production management. He produced "The Flood of the Century", a documentary on the 1997 Manitoba Floods, for Manitoba Culture, Heritage and Information Services, and is currently producing PBS' Router Workshop, which airs in 150 US markets. He is working on all the commercial production for the Travel Channel International, and two children's shows, while continuing to host and produce the hugely successful MTN Kids Club for the Manitoba Television Network.

Kevin's success in the industry is coupled with numerous contributions to society. He has worked closely with UNICEF Manitoba, establishing an annual "Bundy's Golf Tournament for UNICEF". He is honorary spokesperson for the RP Eye Foundation, The Rainbow Society, Crimestoppers and Easter Seals. He has also worked with the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities. He has been honoured as Charitable Media Personality of the Year (1990), and received the "Golden Hand Award" for Promotion of Voluntarism. His efforts resulted in MTN receiving the RCMP Crime Prevention Award for his work on drinking and driving/children's anti-drug campaigns (1990-93). He also created and sang a one minute video "Just Say No" to drugs. Kevin is also very active in his Parish Council.

My parents came here with 80 Deutschmarks (approximately $67 CDN at the time) and we [arrived in] Quebec to restart our lives.”
