Provenance |
The Sarnia Collegiate Institute & Technical School (S.C.I.T.S.), has a rich history stretching back to 1922. In 2016, S.C.I.T.S. was consolidated with St. Clair Secondary School (S.C.S.S.) to form the Great Lakes Secondary School. During this time, a committee was established to review the artifacts and memorabilia at the old school building. Some items were sent to the new Great Lakes Secondary School, while others were distributed to the Lambton County Archives and Lambton Heritage Museum. This item was part of a large donation containing over 150 items. The initials W.O.S.S.A on the patch stands for Western Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association. |
