Driven

- How the Bathurst Tragedy Ignited a Crusade for Change

Om Driven

It was over in seconds. In the early hours of January 12, 2008, seven members of the Bathurst High School basketball team and the coach's wife died instantly when their 15-passenger van collided with a tractor-trailer. Their families and the entire community were shattered. Isabelle Hains and Ana Acevedo lost their sons to the crash. They also lost their trust in a school system they believed would protect their children. Driven by circumstances that they never expected, the two mothers marshalled their grief and transformed themselves into agents of change. It was Isabelle and Ana who shamed the provincial government into holding an inquest. It was Isabelle and Ana who pushed the province into following the inquest's recommendations. And it was Isabelle and Ana's long journey through the legal system that made it safer for children to travel to extra-curricular activities -- both in New Brunswick and throughout Canada. Driven reveals the harsh and surprising truths behind one of Canada's worst school tragedies and the determination of two women who fought for justice in the names of their children.
