The appellant appealed the Director's decisions to amend the terms and conditions of its licence to operate a youth residence and to subsequently suspend the licence. The Tribunal found that the standard of review for the Director's decisions under the CYFSA is correctness, with no deference owed. The Tribunal upheld the amended conditions, finding them appropriate given the serious concerns regarding staffing shortages, medication errors, and the inability of staff to manage high-risk youth. The Tribunal also confirmed the suspension of the licence, concluding that the cumulative circumstances, culminating in an incident where two youths required hospitalization after absconding and consuming alcohol, constituted an immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents.
