Travelling out of province with teenage kids

I, residing in Ontario, plan to go for vacation to my sisters place which happens to be out of province - Alberta for a week. My teenage kids 14 years of age wants to accompany me and asking me to plan during their summer break.
Me and my wife do not have separation agreement in place but we do have relationship issues and for sure the kids travel with me will not go well with her.
Does she have a right to refuse their travel with me and call in cops if the kids or I insist on going ahead? Should we ask for a email consent from her before we plan (she is unpredictable until the last day)?
 
If you don’t have a formal agreement in place it makes it a bit harder.

However your kids are older and this is domestic travel. You could simply send a message that you would like the specific week with the kids to visit their aunt. Note that you will provide specific details once they are known.

If she refuses you can let her know that you consider this denial of parenting time and will seek remedy from the court including costs.
 
Child is over 14. They can fly solo without any parent and you don't even need the extra service. Check the airline before you book flights and get their policy. So if they can fly solo they can fly with a parent without the need for consent for domestic flights. Again, always check with the airline directly on their policy.
