Any person who contravenes this provision commits an offence and is liable to a fine (sections 11.2, 11.2.1 and 135 Y.P.A.). [ 1 ] X spent most of her life in [province A] with her father. [ 2 ] She comes to this area in 2015 to visit her mother.

Shortly after, her situation is reported to the director of youth protection (DYP) and she is entrusted to a foster family. [ 3 ] In July 2016, the Court orders that the adolescent remain in foster care until her majority. [ 4 ] The DYP asks the Court to revise the previous judgment and to declare that the security and development of the youth are no longer in danger. [ 5 ] The situation is improving. The youth does not take neither alcohol nor drugs anymore. She cooperates with professionals who are there to help her. She is developing her autonomy.

She is doing well in school. [ 6 ] The youth and her mother have very few contacts. In fact, the mother is not involved in her daughter's life. [ 7 ] The youth has a close relationship and a significant bond with her father. She wishes to go back living in [province A] to be closer to him. She plans to move there with her boyfriend and try to find a job. The father supports the youth and also wants her to come back. [ 8 ] The evidence reveals that the situation does not require the application of protective measures anymore.

WHEREFORE, THE COURT: [ 9 ] GRANTS the application for revision of order; [ 10 ] DECLARES that the security and development of X are not considered to be in danger according to

section 38 of the youth

protection act ; [ 11 ] REVISES the Court order rendered on July 19, 2016, in the present file; [ 12 ] ORDERS that X's file be closed at the DYP. __________________________________ JANICK POIRIER, J.C.Q.
