Aftermath
Following the accident New Brunswick immediately halted the use of 15 passenger vans and began a thorough review of transportation policy; many other provinces later did the same. At the time of the tragedy only Nova Scotia had a ban on 15 passenger vans, following an accident in 1984.
Many at Bathurst High School speculated that its senior varsity basketball team would not be able to continue after the crash. Only five team members team remained, including three students who did not go to Moncton because of illness. Despite this, the Bathurst Phantoms' basketball team defeated the Campobello Vikings 82–50 to win the Provincial AA championship a year later.
