Collingwood snowplow names revealed ... turns out Collingwood likes a pun

It's Snow Big Deal, but at least one of Collingwood's snowplows has gone to the Dark Side.

Hockey, hip-hop, hard rock and Star Wars were the popular choices for Collingwood residents who participated in the town's snowplow naming contest. 

Bono may have sung about streets with no name, but Collingwood's snowplows won't remain nameless. 

These six names were chosen by popular vote following submissions of hundreds of names, and a shortlist of 20 names:

  1. Squallingwood 
  2. Gordie Plow 
  3. Sled Zeppelin 
  4. Scoop Dogg 
  5. Darth Blader 
  6. Snow Big Deal 

The town thanked all residents who participated and encourages everyone to look out for the monikers as soon as the snow flies.
