The Nova Scotia government announced today that they’re purchasing four more helicopters to replace their current fleet. The problem? They don’t have names yet!

They’re inviting the public to suggest names. The only guideline is:

“Submissions could reflect our province’s character, culture, history, or sense of place. You’re welcome to submit one name or several.”

I’m sure there will be plenty of joke names, but if you’re interested or have a great idea — CLICK HERE!
