A status review application under the Child and Family Services Act concerning a child who had been in the care of the Children's Aid Society.
The society sought a Crown wardship order with no access, while the respondent mother sought the return of the child to her care.
The court determined that a further order was necessary to protect the child and that the society had met its onus on a summary judgment motion to demonstrate there was no genuine issue for trial.
The court found that the mother had failed to address the risks to the child, had not consistently engaged with counselling services despite court orders, and had demonstrated significant ambivalence toward parenting through inconsistent access patterns.
The court granted the Crown wardship order with no access, finding that the mother had not satisfied the statutory test for access to a Crown ward.
