On January 1, 2026, at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital in Collingwood, Ontario, the first baby of the year arrived at 1:22 a.m., continuing a local New Year’s tradition. According to CollingwoodToday, the boy was named Noah Carlo Bullock by first-time parents Gregory Bullock and Rosalia D’angelo.
Noah weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and, hospital reports say, was delivered naturally in the hospital’s Obstetrics Unit. Both mother and baby are reported to be in good health and resting comfortably with nursing staff.
The Obstetrics Department at CGMH handles approximately 556 births per year (2024/25 annual report), serving families across Collingwood and the broader South Georgian Bay region. Hospital officials say the arrival of the New Year’s baby highlights the team’s dedication to maternity care during a period of growth for the facility, including planning for a new hospital building.
According to a CGMH news release about the previous year, the first baby of 2025, Theo Daniel Hawthorne, was born at 6:52 p.m. on January 1, making Noah’s 1:22 a.m. arrival a notably earlier first birth for CGMH.
