The Simcoe Muskoka Child, Youth and Family Services (Society) brought a motion for summary judgment to terminate an interim supervision order, withdraw their protection application, and dismiss the parents' Answers and Plans of Care.
The respondent mother and maternal grandmother consented, but the respondent father opposed, seeking access and custody for the paternal grandmother.
The court granted the Society's motion, finding no genuine issue for trial, emphasizing the children's best interests and their strong, consistent views to remain with their mother and not re-establish a relationship with their father.
The court found the children could be adequately protected without further Society intervention, particularly through a Voluntary Service Agreement with the mother.
