The shooting led to more than 100 recommendations from the public inquiry, as officials continue efforts to improve policing and address intimate-partner violence.
- On Saturday, April 18, 2026, Nova Scotians mark the six-year anniversary of the 2020 mass shooting, with Premier Tim Houston ordering flags at half-mast at Province House and government buildings to honor the 22 victims.

- A public inquiry into the tragedy produced more than 100 recommendations to improve policing and address intimate-partner violence, while Myra Freeman, chair of the monitoring committee, stated the event forever changed the lives of all Nova Scotians.
