A losing battle is being fought in Northern Alberta against an outbreak of whooping cough.

One of the hardest hit areas is the Gift Lake Metis Settlement.

Community health nurse Cheryl Brace-Beaudry, who has been traveling regularly to the settlement in the fight against the outbreak, said the settlement accounts for two-thirds of the recent cases in her area.
