The accused was charged with criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm after a fatal head-on collision on Highway 17.
The accused attempted to pass a line of slow-moving traffic in treacherous winter conditions, driving in the oncoming lane up a hill where the centre lines were obscured by snow.
He collided with an oncoming vehicle, resulting in the deaths of two children and serious injuries to their mother.
The court found that while the accused's decision to pass in such conditions was a marked departure from the standard of care, it did not amount to the marked and substantial departure required for criminal negligence.
The accused was found guilty of the included offences of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm.
