Name the Plow

Three Quinte West snowplows now have names!

Meet your three newly named Quinte West snowplows:

• Scoop Dogg - submitted by Donna Little and the U12AA Quinte West Golden Hawks
• Blizzard Wizard - submitted by Amber Darling
• Buzz Iceclear - submitted by Karisa Brennen, Meggan Wood and Shannon F Baksh

Teachers, community groups and residents are invited to submit one creative name suggestion for a City plow. The top three names will each be displayed on a City plow. The three winning participants will be invited for lunch, activities and a tour of the Public Works Operations Centre to learn more about the City's winter operations.

How it works:

1. As an individual, group or school class, submit your creative name suggestion between Nov. 22 and Dec. 10, 2023.
2. Our Winter Operations staff - the hardworking team behind the City's snow clearing operations - will select their favourite three names from Dec. 11 to Dec. 15, 2023.
3. The three winning names will be announced the week of Dec. 18-22, 2023. The winning participants/groups will be contacted to coordinate their tour of the Public Works Operations Centre, including lunch and activities, in early 2024.
