“We appreciate the incredible enthusiasm for this contest, and are very excited to display the winning names on plows throughout the city,” said Mark Beare, Director of Infrastructure Operations. “With so many entries, we’ve decided to name 15 plows this year. Thank you to everyone who submitted such creative and unique ideas.”
The following names have been chosen:
- Amarsleet Snowhi

- Connor McBlade-It
- Ctrl+Salt+Delete

- Mr. Plow

Keep an eye out for these plows on Edmonton’s streets!
