As 2020 ushered in on Wednesday, hospitals across the GTA welcomed its first babies of the new year and a new decade.
One of the first babies — if not, the first baby in the GTA — was born at Humber River Hospital in North York just after midnight.
“Just seconds after the stroke of midnight, Baby Mohammed was born … the first baby to be delivered in Toronto,” the hospital said in a tweet.
