The applicant father brought a motion to have the parties' three-year-old child enrolled in a junior kindergarten French immersion program, while the respondent mother preferred a French-only program.
The court found that neither parent was francophone and that the father, a unilingual anglophone, would be marginalized from the child's education in a French-only school.
Given concerns about the mother's tendency to exclude the father, the court determined it was in the child's best interests to be enrolled in French immersion to ensure both parents could fully participate in her education.
