City Gets It Wrong On Snow

09/10/2024

So what’s going on here? The city is naming snowplows again.

Weren’t they all named last season? Or have we bought a whole new fleet of plows that are having an identity crisis?

It’s so hard to know.

So come up with your name for a snow plow.

I’m thinking the HMCS Tim Tierney. Or the Watsonator. Or the Sutcliffester Or perhaps What A Useless Contest Done Twice When The City Is Low On Cash (if it is).

This is part of a release from the City of Ottawa:

Name the Plow Campaign

Calling all children and youth under the age of 16! We are excited to announce today’s launch of the “Name the Plow” campaign where you can participate in naming 24 City of Ottawa snowplows, symbolizing the city’s 24 wards.
