There's less than a week left before the City of Salmon Arm makes a big decision: what to name the new snow plow.
Last month in partnership with School District 83, launched a month-long contest to name Salmon Arm's new plow. The city asked for "snow-worthy names for this essential winter vehicle," along with original drawings.
"It鈥檚 a fantastic way for them to express their artistic talents and community spirit while engaging in a real-world project that will be visible around town all winter long," read a post shared by the school district.
On Monday, Dec. 9, the city shared a reminder via social media that there's still time to get those creative contest entries in.
"We are one week away from closing the Name the Snow Plow Contest鈥攁nd wow, your winter-tastic ideas have been snowing us over!鈥�," reads a post by the city. "Don鈥檛 let this opportunity get snowed under 鈥� plow through with your best idea before December 16 at 4 p.m.," reads a social media post by the city.
The selected winning names will be shared publicly, with the winners receiving "some cool City of Salmon Arm swag as a thank-you for their creativity and community spirit."
Entries can be dropped off at city hall (Box 40, 500 2 Avenue NE, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4N2) between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Scanned entries can be emailed to info@salmonarm.ca. Entries can also be posted via social media with the hashtag #SalmonArmSnowStar.
