Public health officials in Manitoba say a provincewide measles outbreak is over.
That comes more than a year after it first reported new cases of the disease.
The government says the last laboratory-confirmed case was identified in August.
A total of 1,038 measles cases have been documented in the province since the outbreak was first reported.
The province says there were 52 hospitalizations, with half of them involving children under the age of 10.
Of the total reported cases, 87 per cent of the people were either not immunized or their immunization status was unknown.
