The Pan Am Games torch relay came to Wallaceburg and Chatham today on its way to the games in Toronto in July.

Aaron Jubenville carried the torch to a celebration in downtown Wallaceburg over the noon hour.

"It's pretty special to do something you are only going to get to do once in a lifetime and to have all my family and friends here," he says. "It's a one in a billion chance, you've got to take up the opportunity when you've got it, this is not going to come by every day."

The party in Wallaceburg continued over the noon hour and the torch headed to Chatham for an event in Tecumseh Park.
