During a Status Review Application, the mother experienced a crisis and the children were taken to a place of safety.
The Children's Aid Society sought a temporary order placing the children in its care, which the mother supported.
The father opposed the motion, seeking to have the children placed in his care and relocated to Toronto.
The court found it was in the best interests of the children to remain in Ottawa in the temporary care of the Society, with the possibility of expanded access for the father, including overnight visits.
