Toronto area hospitals welcome first babies of 2022

Toronto area hospitals welcomed their first babies of 2022 early Saturday morning, with one of them coming into the world at exactly the stroke of midnight.

Humber River Hospital said parents Sreyphea and Sambaph welcomed their baby boy Maverick at 12:00 a.m. on Saturday.

“The two are thrilled to begin 2022 with their little bundle of joy,” the hospital said.

Only one second after the clock struck midnight, Markham Stouffville Hospital welcomed its first baby of the new year.

The hospital posted a photo of baby Ryder James Ang and his happy parents on Twitter.
