Kids In Calgary Were Asked To Give Names To The City's Snowplows & Some Are So Canadian
They've clearly had some fun with that! 🤣
Children in Calgary were asked by the city to name a fleet of snow plows as part of a competition — and the winners have just been announced.
Students from Kindergarten age up to Grade 9 took part and officials said they received 1,700 submissions.
Now, the city has picked its 78 names which can be seen on magnetic decals attached to the snow plows soon.
The City of Calgary said: "We had many wonderful submissions, and they varied in so many ways. We saw names of favourite relatives or pets, celebrities, characters and sayings from favourite TV shows and movies such as Pokémon, Harry Potter or Star Wars.
"The most popular submissions were Plowy McPlowface, Mr. Plow and Frosty the Snowplow. We also had Indigenous names for Chinook and snow, and French and German names, too. We even had some Calgary-centric names like Marda Scoop and Calgary Plower.
