EDMONTON, June 8 /CNW/ - (TSX:KBL.UN) - K-Bro Linen Income Fund (the "Fund") and K-Bro Linen Systems Inc., the Fund's operating subsidiary ("K-Bro"), announced the signings of ten year contracts with Vancouver Coastal Health Authority ("VCHA"), Fraser Health Authority ("FHA"), Provincial Health Services Authority and Providence Health Care Society as a result of K-Bro being a successful proponent under a competitive Request for Proposal process begun last December. Service for the majority of the new volume is expected to commence in November, 2010. The contracts are renewable for a further five years at the customer's option.
