From the article, the charges are:
Quote:"Jenna Armstrong, 30, is charged with failing to give way to railway equipment at a road crossing."
A CTV article [1] specifies the exact charge:
Quote:The charge: "did fail to give way to railway equipment at a road crossing, Railway Safety Act sec 26.2," police say.
A charge is not a conviction. This is not a criminal charge. It more strongly suggests wrongdoing on Armstrong's part but until she is actually convicted of negligence we really don't have any more information than we did in November.

I might imagine that other charges could be added at some point. I believe that likely the police have other charges already, but up to the prosector to decide to which charges to go on. A charge like child endangerment is most likely, which in an indictable offence.
I did notice that about a week before these charges, the family had closed down their GOFUNDME page.
