A Kelowna woman is claiming a Mother’s Day Ogopogo sighting. Lisa von Pander was hiking with her partner at Kalamoir Regional Park in West Kelowna on Sunday afternoon when she spotted something in the water. “We took a break on a bench that had a great view of the lake. We saw these waves/ripples that were very different. They look(ed) like fins,” said von Pander. She said another couple was on the beach at the same time and saw the same things. She shared a video with Castanet.
