Adding “Pow” to the Plow for Winter Safety
Elementary school children recently painted bright designs on three snow plows and a grader for some educational fun, in Golden.
Road maintenance contractor HMC Services Inc. arranged for the equipment to attend all three of Golden’s elementary schools in October. About 300 students examined the equipment, climbed on it and asked questions. HMC Selkirk Division Manager Greg Ehman and his crew talked to the youngsters about where to stand while waiting for the school bus, and how to ensure they are seen, by making eye contact with the snow plow driver. They also advised students to build snow forts and tunnels well away from roads.
After the safety discussion, the kids were equipped with paints and brushes and they gave each plow its own bright, imaginative design.
