A dozen Ontario teens and adolescents, including a Chatham-Kent teen, were recognized this week as this year’s Ontario Junior Citizens of the year.

Isaac Pinsonneault, 17, was part of the group, who met with Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell Monday at Queen’s Park. The group was recognized in front of family and friends for their inspiring community involvement.

Pinsonneault saved a man’s life last summer on Lake Huron. In August, while on a family vacation near Goderich, Pinsonneault risked his own life in heavy waves to rescue a man floundering off the shore at Point Farms Provincial Park.
