The original was rebuilt in 1995 by Ross Kehl of Perma Flex Systems. A call to the public was made for a suitable name for the giant fish and from the hundreds of entries received the name Huskie the Muskie was agreed upon by the committee. The winner was Bill Brabooke, who also included a slogan with the name which said, "Huskie the Muskie says Prevent Water Pollution". Huskie appears in many movies as a sign of travel across the country, along with Max the Moose in Dryden, Ontario, and Wawa, Ontario's goose. Movies include: One Week (2008). (en)
