The two men had been born on the same day in a small hospital north of Winnipeg in 1955 and learned of the mistake in 2022
Richard Beauvais sits with his dog Sam at his home in Sechelt, B.C., on Dec. 28, 2022. Mr. Beauvais and Eddy Ambrose were born on the same day at a hospital north Winnipeg in 1955, and learned in 2022 that they had been raised in each other’s families.After nearly two years of being ignored by Manitoba government officials, two men who were switched at birth six decades ago will receive an apology from Premier Wab Kinew in the legislature on Thursday.
“This is going to be a cathartic moment to help reset their lives,” said Mr. Gange in an interview. “It is very important for this mistake to be recognized and for those in charge to say: We’re sorry that this happened to you. It is devastating to a person’s sense of self.”about the tragic mistake and the men’s fight for answers from the province.
Last year, a government spokesman said the province wasn’t responsible because the hospital, known as the Arbor Medical Nursing Unit at the time, was municipally run. Mr. Gange has dismissed that argument as “shirking responsibility” because the hospital received provincial funding and the doctors and nurses were hired by the province.
