MONTREAL — A baby born in a Montreal hospital may have been the first Canadian newborn of 2021.
The Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital says a boy named Arthur was born precisely at midnight.
The infant, weighing in at seven pounds and four ounces, is the first child for parents Genevieve Beaulieu and Logan Allen.
Less than a minute later, another New Year’s baby arrived in Toronto.
The Humber River Hospital in Toronto says in a post on Twitter that parents Bich Phuy and Patrick welcomed baby Thomas 48 seconds after midnight.
