The parties, who shared joint custody of their nine-year-old child, disagreed on whether the child should attend school in person or online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The applicant mother brought an urgent motion seeking an order for in-person attendance, while the respondent father sought online learning due to health risks.
The court found that the provincial government was in a better position to assess school attendance risks and that there was no unacceptable risk of harm to the child or either household.
The court ordered that the child be registered for and attend school in person, finding it to be in the child's best interests.
