The Children's Aid Society of Haldimand and Norfolk sought an order for extended society care for two children, C and D, without parental access, aiming for adoption.
The respondent mother sought the children's return under a supervision order, citing improvements in her life.
The respondent father did not participate.
The court, applying the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, found that despite the mother's progress, her inconsistent access, substance use, mental health struggles, and poor problem-solving skills meant the children remained in need of protection.
The court determined that extended society care was in the children's best interests, denying parental access but ordering access between the children and their three older siblings.
