Analysis
4The CFSRB held a pre-hearing by videoconference on June 16, 2025.
5At the pre-hearing, the parties agreed to mediation and signed a Participation Agreement. The parties began mediation. During the mediation process, the Applicant left, and the CFSRB was unable to reach the Applicant despite attempts to do so by telephone and email.
6On June 16, 2025, the Applicant was directed to contact the CFSRB by Tuesday June 24, 2025, if she wished to continue with her Application. The Applicant was warned that if the CFSRB did not hear from her by June 24, 2025, her Application may be dismissed as abandoned.
7The correspondence was sent to the email address provided by the Applicant to the CFSRB. The correspondence was not returned to the CFSRB as undeliverable. I am satisfied that the Applicant received the correspondence.
8The CFSRB did not hear from the Applicant by June 24, 2025.
9The CFSRB has not received any further information or communications from the Applicant. In the circumstances, I find that the Applicant has abandoned her Application.
Order
