A child protection motion for summary judgment brought by Chatham-Kent Children's Services seeking Crown wardship of two children with no access.
The respondent parents had histories of drug use and criminal activity.
The father had engaged in ongoing criminal conduct including break and enter offences and was facing drug charges.
The mother had demonstrated some progress in addiction treatment through methadone programming but continued to test positive for illicit drugs including amphetamines and methamphetamines.
Both children had been in care well beyond the statutory period requiring permanency planning.
The court found no genuine issue for trial and granted Crown wardship with no access for purposes of adoption.
