The event is made possible through the very generous financial support of The Co-operators and Scotia Bank for the Wellington  County Symposium, and  Sertoma/ La Sertoma Foundation for the Waterloo Region Symposium, who all share our vision of the value of such an event for the youth in our community.  We fund this event separately...we don't use donations that come to us otherwise to support our child witness program.
