The Children's Aid Society and the father brought summary judgment motions seeking a custody order placing the child with the father.
The mother conceded custody but sought specified access, which the father opposed, preferring access to be at his discretion.
The court found no genuine issue requiring a trial regarding the child's continued need for protection and placement with the father.
The court granted the custody order and, finding that the father had not encouraged the child's relationship with the maternal family, ordered specified progressive access for the mother and maternal grandmother, including reintegration counselling.
