Consultation has concluded

Your opportunity is back to quite literally name a Hamilton snow plow! Our Transportation Division is looking to name an additional 10 snow clearing vehicles this winter season, and need your help to come up with the most creative names possible.

The Name the Plow initiative is all in good fun, but snow clearing in Hamilton in serious business. With each upcoming winter weather event, City of Hamilton road crews are responsible for clearing approximately:

  • 6,478 kilometres of roadway
  • 866 kilometres of sidewalks
  • 237 kilometres cycling lanes
  • 2,365 bus stops

The City is able to accomplish this with 115 City plows, over 300 contracted pieces of plowing equipment and 34 sidewalk plows.
