The City of Windsor has announced that Mary Spencer will be the Windsor community torchbearer for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay.

The torch relay will visit Windsor on June 16th and 17th.

Mary Spencer is one of Canada’s premier boxing champions, holding eight national titles, five Pan American titles, and three world titles.
