An impressive list of local athletes including Brad Jacobs, the Marcoux boys, and Gary Trembinski will be taking part in the Pan Am Games Torch Run, as it hits Sault Ste. Marie today … coming from Wawa where Chris Simon took part last night. It’s the start to a build up for the games, that’ll centre out of Toronto and the GTA.  Super Fan Ryan Coelho, whose travelling with the torch, says it’s exciting to see the momentum build since they left Thunder Bay yesterday…

Ryan Coelho is travelling with the torch and encourages everyone to start getting down to the tent around 5pm…

The torch has made stops in Thunder Bay and Wawa so far…

Jessica Tuomela will light the cauldron at 7.     Justin Tetrault will be the first torchbearer tomorrow morning after a lighting ceremony at 8:15 at the main entrance steps of the Civic Centre signalling their departure from Sault Ste. Marie.
