A short time later, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre welcomed its first newborn of 2024.
Arriving at 1:58 a.m. on Jan. 1, Barrie residents Anastasia Danquah and Garvin Grant welcomed the eighth baby to their family, Godson, weighing just over six pounds.
Each year more than 2,000 babies are born in Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre’s (RVH) Birthing Unit.
The health centre says while each birth “is a unique and beautiful miracle; it calls for a special occasion to welcome the first baby born in 2024.”
