Five Port Colborne elementary schools help city turn snowplows into works of art
In mid October, the city of Port Colborne asked local elementary schools to take part in a SnowPORTant Mission.
Five schools accepted the challenge: St. Therese Catholic Elementary School, Oakwood Public School, St. Patrick Catholic Elementary School, DeWitt Carter Public School, and École Elementaire Catholic Saint Joseph.
As a result, the city now has some of the most decorative snowplows in the region.
On Monday, after all the plows were painted Mayor Bill Steele was asked to make a tough decision, and select his favourite snow clearing machine.
The mayor chose the Snow Breathing Dragon painted by the students at DeWitt Carter Public School.
The plow will go on display at the city’s upcoming Reverse Lighted Santa Claus Parade at H.H. Knoll Lakeview Park on Saturday, Dec. 4, starting at 6:30 p.m.
