Considering it’s Wilkenson’s first winter behind the wheel of the snowplow, she’s been tasked with cleaning the streets overnight. — supplied photo

seven in the morning,” she said. “But I love it, because there’s a lot less people on the streets.” The woman cleans off some of the busiest streets in Cornwall, such as Sydney, Pitt and Cumberland Street, to name a few. Her biggest challenge consists of motor- ists who park their cars on the road, despite the warning from the City not to do so. “I just can’t understand why some people still park on the road, even in a complete snowstorm,” she said. “The fines don’t seem to scare them.” When there hasn’t been any recent snow- fall, Wilkenson and other snowplow drivers haul snow from several areas and clean up around parking meters. The woman stressed that streets can be slippery, even for the huge plows. “It’s all a matter of taking your time.” But even though Wilkenson is the first female driver to plow the streets of Cornwall, she’s quite humble about the whole thing. “Some city workers are very happy about

it,” she explained. “I just don’t like attracting too much attention.”
