When signing up, registrants were asked to provide school email addresses of all student delegates. Student leaders from All Saints contacted delegates in advance of the symposium to introduce themselves, inform delegates about their workshop and invite the delegates to prepare material in advance. A sample email from student leaders is below, along with a student made promotional video.

We were fortunate to have support of the Catholic Student Leadership Department and the All Saints Parent Council to help fund the event. Following the Symposium, Akeem Haynes stopped in to speak to students at All Saints Catholic School, as we had booked him for the day. The speaker fees came in under $2000. Lunch was provided by the CEC and we provided all attendees with a delegates bag, containing some donated and some expensed items.
