A CTV article [1] specifies the exact charge:
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.
Why do you think a charge of child endangerment is likely? I'd be surprised if you can find even a single instance where a HTA charge leads to an additional criminal indictment of child endangerment. Parents who drive distracted with a child in their car and end crashing as a result are endangering their children as well, but that's not the charge that ever gets applied. Whether I agree with it or not, this is the same situation, police would be applying a very substantial double standard here.
