Four provinces, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick, as well as Yukon, have legislation specifically providing for grandparent access.

That's horrifying considering how many grandparents likely don't have access due to their own abusive or toxic personalities.

If you read the article, it's mostly about visitation to maintain an existing relationship after a divorce, rather than mandating visits between toxic grandparents and their grandkids above the objections of the parents.
