The applicant Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking a final order placing a medically complex child in Extended Society Care.
The mother opposed the motion, arguing she could care for the child with appropriate supports and that the Society relied heavily on hearsay evidence from third-party service providers.
The court dismissed the motion, finding genuine issues for trial regarding the mother's ability to provide a viable plan of care, the reasons for the breakdown in relationships with service providers, and whether the Society fulfilled its statutory duty to assist the mother.
