The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order for Crown wardship without access for two children.
The mother opposed the motion, seeking the return of the children to her care.
The court found that the mother had a long-standing history of substance abuse, involvement in domestic violence, and instability, and had failed to demonstrate an ability to meet the high special needs of the children.
The court concluded there was no genuine issue for trial, as the statutory timelines for temporary care had expired and a return to the mother was not a viable option.
The motion was granted, and the children were made Crown wards without access for the purposes of adoption.
