The applicant brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order to place two children in extended society care.
The children had been in care for five years after being abandoned by the mother.
The father, who had a positive relationship with the children, was unable to secure suitable housing despite significant support and extensions of time.
The court found no genuine issue for trial, noting that poverty was not the determining factor, but rather the father's lack of problem-solving, judgment, and motivation.
The motion was granted, placing the children in extended care with flexible access for the father.
