Consultation has concluded

While many of us are out shoveling our driveways and dreaming of warmer weather, January through March is the season when our Snow Plows shine!

With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to give these gentle snow-clearing giants some great names…. that’s where you come in!

Inspired by other communities, the Township of South Frontenac is inviting residents to help come up with awesome names for our big orange snow plows! Submit your best idea on the Snow Plow Name Generator page - you can submit up to three awesome ideas, but just make sure to add one at a time.

Submissions will be accepted until Sunday, February 6, 2022, after which, the list will be reviewed and narrowed down to a group of 25 names that the public will have the opportunity to vote on! Of the top 25, six (6) will selected the week of February 21, 2022, and later displayed on the side of South Frontenac Snow Plows.

In addition to posting your ideas, residents and their families are also welcome to print off our "Name the Snow Plow Colouring Sheet" and upload it with their snow plow name ideas. Easy to share with family, friends, students, or teachers!

The individuals responsible for submitting the chosen 6 names will receive a small prize and be invited to have their picture taken (optional) with the newly named plows!

Residents of all ages are encouraged to participate.

  • Winning Snow Plow Names Announced

    South Frontenac Announces Snow Plow Names

    Inspired by other Canadian communities, the Township of South Frontenac invited residents back in January to share their ideas for naming the Township’s snow plows. After 3 weeks of idea submissions through the online Snow Plow Name Generator on EngageFrontenac.ca, 350 name ideas were submitted, then narrowed down to 25 by staff and voted on by the public.


    “What started out as an idea to inspire the community during the winter season and provide some educational information about our winter maintenance program, turned out to be a big hit amongst South Frontenac residents, young and old,” explained Mayor Ron Vandewal.


    Following a week of voting, the following names have been selected as the official names of South Frontenac Snow Plows:

    • 38 Special
    • Betty Whiteout
    • Blade Runner
    • Frontenac Flurry
    • Frost and Fluriest
    • I.C. Rhodes
    • Optimus Plow
    • Orange Crush
    • Plowabunga
    • Sir Salter

    The individuals who provided these name suggestions will receive a small prize and be invited to have their picture taken (optional) with the newly named plows once they are assigned a name. The Township will be reaching out to these individuals next week.


    “I want to thank all those that partook in the contest, it was great to see the endless creativity from our community,” said Vandewal. “I know my family had fun coming up with name ideas for our plows – I hope yours did too.”
