Sarnia's John DeGroot has been selected to carry the Pan Am torch through the city June 16.
The winner of this year's Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award, in a statement, says it's nice to be able to bring part of the Pan Am excitement to Sarnia.
DeGroot was chosen by the chamber through the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.
