The applicant and respondent sought a court order to determine which French elementary school their child, Dezmond, should attend commencing September 2018.
The applicant proposed l’École élémentaire catholique Au Coeur d’Ottawa, while the respondent proposed l’École élémentaire et secondaire publique Maurice-Lapointe.
The court considered the child's best interests, including parental involvement, commute times, and the quality of education, ultimately ruling in favour of the applicant's proposed school due to significantly less travel burden on the child and the applicant.
