No one was affected more by the Humboldt Broncos Bus crash on April 6th than the families of the victims.

The man driving the semi-truck that collided with the Broncos Bus, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Friday in a Melfort courtroom.

Dozens of the bus crash victim's and families arrived at the sentencing to hear the verdict of Sidhu's fate. After the announcement that Sidhu will face a sentence under 10 years, some of the families felt there is much more to do.

"We're still fighting for seat belts, driver training, road safety and so on. We've still got a lot of energy and we are grateful that this part is maybe going to be behind us, but we've still got a lot of worthy causes that we think are going to make the roads safer," said Chris Joseph, the father of Jaxon Joseph.

"I can't help but be disappointed, but also understanding. I don't know, that's about all I can say," said Carol Brons. Like the Josephs, Carol and her husband Lyle have become advocates for continued changes to standards of training and accountability in the trucking industry. They, along with other families, work diligently on promoting a petition to continue changes.

Russell Herold, father of Adam Herold, the youngest Bronco to die in the crash, reflected on the nature of closure. He stated, "I'm not sure how anything brings us closure. It doesn't change what has happened." In the face of lingering grief, the Herold's see Adam's legacy live on in the hockey scholarships and camps for youth near their native Montmartre, Saskatchewan.

Some of the families have looked at positives of the happenings over the last year with the Broncos bus crash.

"I think it sends a strong message to the trucking industry. It is a professional job and drivers should be trained in a professional way. Thank goodness Saskatchewan has changed the training program. Now it's time to make it go nationally, " Mark Dahlgren, father of Kaleb Dahlgren.

Sidhu will also be banned from driving and owning a firearm after being released from prison, However, it is expected an exclusion order will be enforced upon Sidhu's release. Some of the other family members of the 29 victims were lost for words on how they felt about the sentence.
