A family from Southend welcomed a New Year’s baby into the world at Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert at 5:02 a.m. on Wednesday.
Grace Kelly Morin was the first baby born in the city in 2020 and weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz.
Christina Dorion and Gary Morin are Grace’s parents and they said in a release that they would like to thank Dr. Lalita Malhotra and all the wonderful nursing staff at the Victoria Hospital for a safe delivery of their new daughter.
