You may not have heard of Drumnadrochit, Scotland, but you likely know about its most famous nearby resident.

The village of 1,000 people lies on the west shore of the body of water that is home to the elusive Loch Ness Monster.

Approximately 6,700 kilometres to the west of Drumnadrochit lies another small community with its own 91裸聊视频榤onster of notoriety91裸聊视频� - Peachland.

It91裸聊视频檚 there that a group of residents want to bring the world to their doorstep by enshrining Ogopogo, n 虛x虒ax虒aitk史 in the Syilx language, in a massive wood carving that would presumably take up residence along the shore of Okanagan Lake in the community.

91裸聊视频淧eople can sit down and have their picture taken with the Ogopogo with Rattlesnake Island (in the background),91裸聊视频� said Lee Etherington.

Etherington, a wood carver, told Peachland council that the statue would be about 25 feet long, and eight to 10 feet high.

He added he would stay true to the legend of n 虛x虒ax虒aitk史.

91裸聊视频淐reate something that looks like as it is described in the stories of the Westbank First Nation,91裸聊视频� he promised.

Bruce Klippenstein, who is working with Etherington, told council of Drunmadrochit91裸聊视频檚 fortunes with Nessie.

They include half a million visitors a year who spend up to $70 million in the village.

91裸聊视频榃e have a world-worthy attraction and we need to harness it,91裸聊视频� Klippenstein added. 91裸聊视频淵ou have the opportunity to kick-start a major tourist attraction for Peachland and I hope you91裸聊视频檒l take advantage of it.91裸聊视频�

He pointed out that Ogopogo is already well-known around the world and lives right across the lake on Rattlesnake Island.

91裸聊视频淭he WFN and other First Nations agree that91裸聊视频檚 where he lives, the province of B.C. agrees that91裸聊视频檚 where he lives.91裸聊视频�

Klippenstein also noted that a previous council passed a motion in 2000 declaring that Ogopogo lives on the island.

He also believes the project could make a major contribution to truth and reconciliation with WFN.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e working with them and we want them to start promoting n 虛x虒ax虒aitk史 as a tourist attraction and they91裸聊视频檙e thinking about it,91裸聊视频� Klippenstein added.

Klipperstein says he owns the trademark for Ogopogo and WFN owns the trademark for n 虛x虒ax虒aitk史.

Etherington said the group would raise all the needed funding, carve the statue, and donate it to the district.

All that would be needed then is a place to put it.

Etherington said he envisions a launch celebration and possibly a 91裸聊视频榮pirit of the lake festival91裸聊视频� every year.

Council has directed staff to work with the group and bring a recommendation forward for consideration at a later meeting.
