The father had set the vacation’s attendance limit to seven people — under the socially\u002Daccepted bubble of 10
But the boy’s mom, who has shared custody, filed an urgent motion in Ontario Superior Court, saying her ex-husband failed to properly consider the COVID-19 health risks of the cottage getaway. She contended that the summer vacation was not only selfish but unnecessarily risky and could expose their son to the virus.
Having seven family members from three different parts of Ontario does not constitute a safe social circleIt would be impossible for seven people to physical distance in a cottage and keep the place properly disinfected The boy’s father argued that his ex-wife’s motion was just another attempt to interfere with his summer vacation plans for the third year in a row. The father also told court that he always puts his son’s best interests first and would never expose him to harm. He said he’s kept a tight social bubble during the pandemic and his plan to merge his bubble with extended relatives was consistent with government protocols so they wouldn’t have to social distance or wear a mask.
