The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa brought a summary judgment motion seeking a custody order for the child, L.S., in favour of his paternal great-aunt, with supervised access to the mother.
The court found no genuine issue requiring a trial regarding either the custody disposition or the access arrangements.
The mother had failed to take meaningful steps to address the Society's concerns, and the child was thriving in the great-aunt's care.
The court granted the custody order to the great-aunt and set conditions for the mother's supervised access, emphasizing the child's best interests and the need for permanency.
