Now What Facilitation continues support for Designated Sports in BC

August 17, 2026, Vancouver – viaSport is pleased to share that Now What Facilitation is continuing its partnership with viaSport to support the amateur sport sector in BC. Now What Facilitation has been serving viaSport Designated Sports for the past five years already and has recently updated its service offering to these sports. Now What specializes in helping sports teams and organizations build cohesion and success. This includes proactive support that helps organizations strengthen governance, reduce risk, and address issue before they become formal complaints.

“We are proud to partner with viaSport in their mission to help create safer, healthier sport environments across British Columbia,” says Nadia Kyba, Founder and President of Now What Facilitation.

Specifically, Now What specializes in supporting teams and organizations by providing dispute resolution services, governance and policy reviews, meeting facilitation, and strategic planning services. Now What provides a 20 per cent discount on all of their services to viaSport Designated Sport Organizations and their affiliated clubs. This work also helps boards strengthen safeguarding oversight, clarify roles and committee structures, and build preventative practices into governance, onboarding, screening, training, and complaint processes.

Also, Now What offers conflict and complaint coaching calls for sport leaders to help them manage these difficult situations. As part of the viaSport partnership, Now What offers these calls free of charge to viaSport Designated Sports and their affiliated clubs. Coaching can also help leaders identify early risks, navigate conflicts of interest, and consider the most appropriate response before a concern escalates into a formal process.

“Now What Services have provided amazing support for our Designated Sport Organizations over the past five years,” says Andrea Wooles, viaSport Safety Manager. “They are a trusted first-call when conflict or complaints arise, and they’ve developed a strong understanding of sport through their work managing conflict. They bring this understanding to help organizations strengthen all aspects of their governance and strategy.”

Now What services focus on skill-building, open communication, practical problem-solving, and relational approaches that help organizations move through conflict and complex situations with greater clarity and confidence. The goal is not only to respond well when conflict occurs, but to strengthen the systems, leadership practices, and safeguards that can help prevent problems from escalating in the first place.
