The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking to have a child made a Crown ward without access for the purpose of adoption.
The mother contested the motion and sought the return of the child to her care or alternatively placement with the maternal aunt under Society supervision.
The court found that the mother had failed to follow through with recommended services, had a history of substance abuse, and lacked the capacity to parent a child with global developmental delays.
The parenting capacity assessment indicated that the mother's ability to parent was contingent on compliance with recommendations and recovery from psychological difficulties.
The court granted summary judgment making the child a Crown ward with supervised monthly access to the mother.
