Historical information

When in 1991, the Sunshine Technical School merged with Sunshine High School, Sunshine North Technical School and the Tottenham Technical School to form the Sunshine Secondary Cottage (later Sunshine College), this cabinet and the three shelves of trophies inside were donated to the Sunshine & District Historical Society.

The cabinet has been repurposed as a general display cabinet with the top shelf displaying some of the original trophies.
