The province has once again published a list of businesses that were shut down for violating provincial health regulations. 

Among them was the popular Dim Sum restaurant Kum Koon Gardens located on King Street in Winnipeg’s China Town. The eating establishment was closed February 13, 2017 because of a rodent infestation.
