Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Peterborough this week and visited with former Peterborough-Kawartha MP Maryam Monsef, her husband former Fredericton Liberal MP Matt DeCourcey, and their baby boy named Samad Monsef DeCourcey.
“Caught up with some old friends — and made a brand new one, too,” Trudeau wrote on his Instagram on Thursday (April 6), posting a photo of him chatting with Maryam while holding Samad, who will be one month old on April 8.
“Glad we could spend some time together this morning, Maryam and Matt,” Trudeau added. “Keep making the most of these precious moments with your little one.”
It’s unclear when Trudeau was in Peterborough for the visit.
According to his official itinerary, he was in the Greater Toronto Area on Wednesday, ending the day at a town hall with students at Durham College’s Whitby campus.
By late Thursday morning, he was in Montréal to meet with Montréal mayor Valérie Plante and workers cleaning up damage from the ice storm that affected communities across Quebec.
Monsef gave birth to her son on March 7 at Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
This story has been updated to correct the birth date of Samad Monsef DeCourcey.
