This is a child protection application concerning three children whose mother was fatally shot.
The maternal aunt assumed care of the children and seeks to become their permanent guardian.
The biological father of two of the children, who has a history of domestic violence with the deceased mother and was charged with uttering death threats shortly before her death, seeks expanded access and eventual custody of the two younger children.
The Children's Aid Society initially supported the aunt's care but later began exploring expanded unsupervised access for the father.
The court adjourned proceedings to allow the aunt to obtain state-funded counsel, finding she has a constitutional right to representation.
