The applicant filed a complaint against the children's aid society alleging a failure to provide an opportunity to be heard and a failure to provide reasons for decisions affecting her interests, contrary to section 15(2) of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.
The complaint centered on the society's attendance at a school threat assessment meeting, receipt of information from the school, and a requirement that the applicant present a letter outlining mental health concerns to a hospital doctor.
The Child and Family Services Review Board dismissed the application, finding that the society's receipt of information did not constitute a decision affecting the applicant's interests, and that the applicant was provided a meaningful opportunity to be heard and given reasons regarding the hospital requirement.
