A Court of Appeal date for April Halkett, the mother of a baby boy born in a Prince Albert Walmart toilet, has been delayed for the third time.
The case is expected to be heard in October.
Halkett was found not guilty of child abandonment last year.
She gave birth to the baby in 2007. Then --- scared and thinking the infant was dead --- she left him in the toilet.

The Regina Floral Conservatory is re-opening Tuesday after closing for the summer months.
Jessica Paul with the Conservatory says it's a great place to visit as the summer winds down.
"The Conservatory will be filled with all kinds of different flowers. It's actually a really nice, peaceful place to escape to just see some stuff in bloom or come and read a book," she said.
Paul notes besides popping by for a visit, young children and their parents can be part of a special program called the Lil' Gardener's Club.

Marshall notes harvest has been set back by a summer filled with storms.
