The Okanagan Lake is near Kelowna BC. Vancouver BC is about 400km west of Kelowna and the Okanagan Lake. If you wanted to change the title it would be better. "Baby Ogopogo found in BC's Okanagan lake." Then relate it to how close the it is to the site of the 2010 Olympics which are in Vancouver. Vancouver is just north of Seattle. This should give people a good idea of where this is.

@goldfarb: I went to school in PA. When flight 91 went down, they said it went down outside of Pittsburgh. Shanksville is ~80 miles away from Pittsburgh. News people have no concept of distance.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: That's outside of Pittsburgh. You wouldn't say Shanksville, unless you want the whole country to say "Huh?" in unison.

I'd like to point out that its not "Vancouver's Okanagan Lake" but British Columbia's Okanagan Lake. Vancouver is over 200 km away from Okanagan Lake.
