If you believe there is an issue that could be resolved through mediation, you can request the services of Now What Facilitation. The cost of this service is covered by viaSport with the support of the Province of British Columbia for any Accredited, Recognized, or Affiliated sports organization.
Once we receive the form, you will be contacted within 48 hours to discuss the issue that needs resolving. A facilitator will then reach out to each party you provide contact details for to determine if everyone is willing to participate in mediation. Once willingness has been established, the facilitator will arrange a second phone call with each party to discuss the issues. Afterward, the mediation meeting will be scheduled with all parties involved. Our goal is to hold the mediation within 2 weeks of the initial referral.

Requests must be submitted by the Executive Director or CEO of a Designated Sports Organization in British Columbia. However, if the ED/CEO gives permission in advance, a designate may submit the request.
Please make sure to review your organization's policies and procedures before initiating this request.
