The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order for Crown wardship without access for two children.
The mother opposed the motion but failed to file responding materials and sought an adjournment, which was denied.
The court found no genuine issue for trial, noting the mother's long-standing, unaddressed substance abuse and mental health issues, and her failure to engage with services.
Relying on expert assessments indicating the children required stability and specialized care, the court granted the motion, making the children Crown wards without access for the purpose of adoption.
