DID YOU KNOW? The first ever baby born at the Civic was on Dec 20, 1924, to Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Yetts. The baby boy was delivered by Dr. Elizabeth Embury — one of the first women in Canada to practice medicine and one of the founders of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada.
Miss Marie Thompson was the supervising nurse in the maternity ward and took personal charge of this first birth, according to the article in The Ottawa Citizen on Monday, December 22, 1924.
