    Collingwood | Share Your Ideas & Name a Snowplow!

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [8 August 2024] – The Town of Collingwood has launched a fun and interactive contest to name four of its snowplows ahead of the 2024/ 25 winter season. Take pride in your community and get creative with this fun public engagement opportunity. 

    From now until Friday, August 23 at 4:00 p.m., submit your suggestions for snowplow names on the Town’s Engage Page at https://engage.collingwood.ca/name-a-snowplow    

    A shortlist of names will be selected from the submissions by a panel of Public Works and Town Staff which will then be open for public 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 decaled 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 and I’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’t directly 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 on the Engage Page at https://engage.collingwood.ca/name-a-snowplow, via email  [email protected], via Service Collingwood, located at 97 Hurontario Street, Collingwood, or by phone 705-445-1030 by 4:00 p.m. Friday, August 23, 2024
