We need your help with the New Year’s Baby

The Medicine Hat News invites residents who may have or know the first baby of 2026 to reach out.

Alberta Health Services no longer provides information to the media on the first child born in the New Year within the city, and as such, the family is encouraged to make themselves known to the News for a feature, if they are interested, preferably on New Year’s Day.

The MHN editorial team can be reached via email at newsdesk@medicinehatnews.com, or by calling 403-528-5664.
