A child protection matter under the Child and Family Services Act concerning two young sisters whose mother was unable to provide adequate care due to persistent drug abuse.
The Children's Aid Society sought a final order for Crown Wardship without access to permit adoption by the paternal grandparents.
The maternal grandparents sought custody with access provisions.
The court found that while Crown Wardship would provide permanency, a custody order under section 57.1 of the CFSA was in the children's best interests because it would preserve the children's beneficial relationship with their maternal grandparents while ensuring their safety and stability with the paternal grandparents.
