We are excited to launch the 2026 Snow Plow Naming Contest for the Municipality of Chatham‑Kent!
This annual tradition, inspired by popular initiatives across Canada, continues to celebrate community creativity and winter spirit. Once again, the contest is proudly presented in partnership with our valued sponsor, Winmar.
Over the past four years, the contest has grown into a beloved local event—so much so that several winning names have even been featured on the national stage during Hockey Night in Canada. This recognition highlights not only the imagination of our residents but also the strong sense of community pride that defines Chatham‑Kent.
The Snow plow Naming Contest brings a touch of fun to the winter season while giving residents the unique opportunity to leave their mark on our snow-clearing fleet. We can’t wait to see the clever, witty, and original names our community will submit this year.
As we kick off the 2026 contest, we extend our sincere thanks for your continued enthusiasm and support. Each year, your creativity and camaraderie make this initiative a standout success. Stay tuned for updates as we begin our search for the next round of unforgettable snow plow names!
