Pan AM Torch in Algoma

The Pan AM Torch is now in the northwest part of Algoma.  It started the day yesterday in the Thunder Bay area and stopped in Wawa.  The next stop for the torch is Sault Ste. Marie where it’s expected to arrive close to the supper hour this evening.  And then tomorrow it begins its ride along the North Shore corridor of Highway 17 stopping and passing through quite a few communities like Blind River, Spanish, Espanola and Little Current.  Quite a few towns have events planned to coincide with the arrival of the Pan-AM Torch in their respective community.  In Little Current Juno-award winner Crystal Shawanda will perform.
