Name the Plow Contest

The City of Orillia’s popular Name the Plow contest is back with two plows ready for names!  After an enthusiastic community response last year, the contest returns following the City’s Public Works Week Open House on May 24, where residents helped paint two plow blades (see photo) that are now in need of clever, creative names. 

Name the Plow Contest

Submissions are open until June 30, 2025. If you need assistance filling out the form, please contact Mikaela Mahoney, Manager of Fleet, at 705-325-2272 for assistance. 

Submit Your Name the Plow Suggestion

Here are some considerations when submitting: 

  • Names submitted should be under 20 characters and no more than three words.  
  • Names submitted cannot be an individual’s name. 
  • Names submitted should be a name that is created by the submitter and not otherwise owned or trademarked by another entity, such as a movie, TV program, or person’s name, or reference to an existing company. 
  • One submission per person. Duplicate submissions will not be accepted. 
  • Email submissions or comments on social media will not be accepted or considered. 

Once the submission period is complete on June 30, 2025, the City of Orillia’s Winter Control Team will vote to select their top five names from the submissions. Members of the public will then vote for their favourite in July.  

The name will be unveiled this fall and displayed on the painted plows this winter season. The City will be clear coating the plow blades to protect the artwork during the plowing season.   

We attempt to make our website documents Accessible however, some of these documents may not completely meet the AODA Accessibility requirements. If you require assistance or communication support, please contact 705-329-7258.
