The Children's Aid Society of Toronto brought a motion for summary judgment seeking to make two children crown wards with access to the respondents in the society's discretion.
The respondents, the mother and maternal grandmother, opposed the motion and sought the return of the children to their care.
The court heard oral evidence from the mother and maternal grandmother pursuant to subrule 16(6.2) of the Family Law Rules.
The court found that the children had been in need of protection due to neglect, and that the respondents had demonstrated no meaningful insight into the protection concerns or the children's needs.
The court made final orders making both children crown wards, with access to the respondents in the society's discretion and in consideration of the children's wishes.
A focused hearing was scheduled to determine the access arrangements for the older child.
