He was convicted of more than 20 criminal offences — including the double 1992 murders of Caledon residents Ian and Nancy Blackburn.

In addition to the Blackburn slayings, Snow was banged up on kidnapping, sex assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault and a slew of other convictions.

According to documents seen by The Banner, Snow’s understanding of his crimes and what triggered them is still in its “infancy.”

Prison has been a rough ride for Snow: He has been convicted of a number of offences while in the joint, including attacking another prisoner and threatening him with death.

Snow is a designated dangerous offender serving a life sentence.

According to The Banner, Snow’s bid for freedom was shot down by the Parole Board of Canada in 2019.

It ruled the prospect of Snow back on the streets would pose an “undue risk to society if released”.

“You are only beginning to develop insight into much of the sexual and violent components of your offending,” the parole board decision stated, as perThe Banner.

“You have made gains by coming to terms with your unhealthy relationship to pornography, (but) this insight is relatively new,” it continued.

“Your understanding of your deviant sexual thoughts … remains in its infancy.”

Snow murdered the Blackburns in April 1992 when they surprised him at their cottage.
