Residents of a New Brunswick city got creative when naming the city’s eight snow plows in a first-ever contest.
Saint John and radio station 97.3 The Wave hosted a weeks-long contest to name the plows and received more than 4,000 votes.
Mayor Donna Reardon announced the chosen names on-air Tuesday morning, saying in a release she was happy to see people embrace the contest, and “made it their own and ran with it.”
The eight snow plows will be named the following:
