The Catholic Children's Aid Society brought a summary judgment motion seeking an order of Crown wardship without access for five children.

The mother did not oppose the motion.

The father opposed, proposing a kin plan where the children would live with his aunt.

The court found no genuine issue requiring a trial, noting the children's special needs (including FASD), the father's ongoing parenting deficits, and the unfeasibility of the proposed kin plan.

The court granted the summary judgment, making the children Crown wards without access.

A child protection agency sought summary judgment to make five children crown wards without access.

The children had been in care for over one year following apprehension due to neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, and hazardous living conditions.

The father opposed the motion and proposed a kinship plan placing the children with his aunt.

The court found that the parents had failed to address the protection concerns, had not benefited from services offered, and that the proposed kinship plan was not viable.

The court granted the motion and made all five children crown wards without access.
