Ogopogo served eviction notice from Lake Devo

Authorities have issued an eviction notice to Ogopogo stating that it must evacuate Lake Devo within the next 14 days to avoid going to court. 

“We respect Ogopogo’s right to express itself,” said representative of the Lake Devo Conservation Authority (LDCA), Enzo Ripley. “However, this body of water rests on private property and Ogopogo is disturbing the delicate balance of this ecosystem.”

Ogopogo first appeared in Lake Devo three weeks ago, baffling experts who have never observed it outside of British Columbia. 

“I have studied the n'ha-a-itk story for fifty years and this behaviour is bizarre,” said Okanagan-based researcher, Dr. Mary Sparrow about Ogopogo. “‘N'ha-a-itk’ means “lake demon” and that’s what it does: sit in the lake and be a demon. I don’t believe it means any harm though.”  

Regardless of Dr. Sparrow’s statement, Ripley remains firm in his stance that Ogopogo has to get Ogopogone. 

“Lake Devo is home to many native cigarette butts and ShakeShack cups,” said Ripley. “Ogopogo is trying to change that by using its magical filtration powers and fish summoning abilities.” 

While Ogopogo has rejected our requests for a direct comment, it did send a possessed vessel to inform the Abnormal School of its thoughts. 

“So what? I wanted a vacation,” said the vessel on behalf of Ogopogo. “You would think that this school–which was named after the founder of residential schools for a while there–would be more laissez-faire about unwanted settlers.”
