Paint a Plow

The Township of Hamilton Public Works staff invite you to get creative with our municipal fleet!

Our Township snowplows revved up to make visits to local schools for a gear glow-up and are now on display at the Township Office and view pictures below! Stop by and check out the incredible artwork! When the snow flies, children will get a chance to see their artwork doing hard work!

Photo Gallery: Local Government Week 2023 will appear here on the public site.
