Toronto Community Housing (TCH) CEO Kathy Milsom has been removed from her post over a contract with management consulting company Orchango. “Having carefully considered all of the available evidence, the board has concluded that … Milsom’s conduct throughout this process did not meet the high standard that we set for ourselves,” the TCH board said in a statement released Thursday. The statement however avoids specifics, saying only that the conduct in question related to a so-called Request for Proposal which “did not comply with the procedures and protocols expected of a public procurement process and failing to fully cooperate with the investigation that has led to this independent report.” The statement said TCH vice-president Sheila Penny will continue as acting CEO until April 3, when current board chair Kevin Marshman will take over as CEO. Milsom served as TCH CEO for barely 18 months before her suspension in December. She was hired to replace Greg Sprearn who is said to have abruptly resigned the post in 2017.
