We want your help naming four snowplows ahead of the 2024/ 25 winter season! Take pride in your community and getcreative with this fun public engagement opportunity.
From now until Friday, August 23 at 4:00 p.m.,submit your suggestions for snowplow names using the Ideas tool below!
Following the open suggestion period, a shortlist of names will be selected from the submissions by a panel of Public Works and Town Staff. This shortlist will be shared publicly and open for voting in early September. The four names with the highest number of votes will be selected and announced in mid-September in time to be declared on the snowplows before the snow flies!
“Community input is an important part of our decision-making, and this is a fun initiative that all ages can participate in. Collingwood is a very creative Town andI’m excited to see the names our residents come up with,” said Deputy Mayor, Tim Fryer.
Snow clearing in Collingwood is no easy task, with operators working around the clock during heavy periods of snowfall to keep the roads and sidewalks clear and safe. A team of 20 staff including operators, patrollers, and a mechanic work hard to clear 6 plow routes with approximately 320 lane kilometers of roads and 5 sidewalk routes with approximately 85 kilometers of sidewalk in an efficient and timely manner. While naming the snowplows doesn’tdirectly improve performance, it does boost spirits during the long and dark winter days.
All residents of Collingwood are encouraged to flex their creative muscles and submit ideas. We look forward to receiving and reviewing name suggestions via the 'Ideas' tool below, via email tocommunications@collingwood.ca, via Service Collingwood, locatedat 97 Hurontario Street, Collingwood, or by phone 705-445-1030 no later than4:00 p.m. Friday, August 23, 2024.
Please note this is an all-ages forum and inappropriate or offensive ideas will be removed.
