The Children's Aid Society of Algoma brought a motion for summary judgment in a status review proceeding under the Child and Family Services Act, seeking an order for crown wardship of a two-year-old child with no parental access.
The child had previously been made a temporary ward of the society for six months.
The parents opposed the motion but failed to provide substantive evidence in response.
The court found that no genuine issue requiring a trial existed and granted the society's motion for crown wardship with no access to either parent.
The court noted that the parents had failed to comply with the Plan of Care expectations, their relationship remained dysfunctional, and the protection concerns had not been addressed or had been exacerbated.
