Former children’s hospital CEO ‘ready for the fight’ in fraud case, lawyer says
HALIFAX — The former CEO of Halifax’s IWK Health Centre is “anxious” but ready to fight fraud charges, her lawyer says.
Tracy Kitch and former IWK chief financial officer Stephen D’Arcy — both of whom now live in Toronto — were scheduled to make their first appearances in a Halifax courtroom on Thursday.
As expected, neither of them showed up, leaving lawyers to speak on their behalf.
“Needless to say, she’s very anxious, but she’s ready for the fight,” defence lawyer Joel Pink told reporters afterward.
