Cochranites invited to cast their vote: Help us select a name for our snow plows and street sweeper!
(Cochrane, AB) – Cochrane’s young minds have set the stage for a lively winter season! Grade 3 students were challenged to submit their most creative names for the Town’s four crucial snow plows, including a brand new addition and a dedicated street sweeper. And now we’re calling on the community to join in on the fun by voting for their favourite’s.
“Our grade 3 students have truly captured the spirit of Cochrane in their creative submissions,” Drew Hyndman, Executive Director Development & Infrastructure Services, Town of Cochrane. “The addition of a new snowplow to our fleet will play a vital role in ensuring our dedicated Roads team can keep Cochrane’s streets safe and passable this winter. Rolling this new equipment out with a fun community campaign makes this extra special, and we are very thankful to all of the schools who participated.”
