Ahead of the public launch of the new transforming milfoil harvester in late spring, the OBWB is inviting the public to help name the machine — because after Boaty McBoatface, we know crowdsourcing names can get memorable.
We’re asking those young and old, up and down the valley, to get those thinking caps on! Let’s ensure our newest tool in milfoil management doesn’t end up with a
name like Harvesty McHarvestface (unless that’s what the people want).
Name submissions will be accepted until May 21, 2026 at communications@obwb.ca. A prize will be awarded to the winning entry which includes a ride on the new harvester and a chance to cut some milfoil.
Now comes the hard part: the name.
