Petition for the Immediate Removal of the Raiders Hockey Association President Leslie Pakish

Reason for blocking

Petitions which, from a subjective point of view, disparage (the behaviour of) persons or groups and judge them in general terms will be terminated and blocked. Petitions in which blanket attributions are made to entire groups of people that cannot be substantiated and merely reflect one's own opinion are also inadmissible. An objective and justified criticism of public persons or groups in relation to their public activity is permissible.

text of the petition

My opinion is that, this petition is vital to ensure the continued growth, integrity, and success of the Raiders Hockey Association. Leadership within the organization requires consistent, transparent, and fair decision-making that prioritizes the well-being and best interests of all members. Unfortunately, we have lost confidence in the current president’s ability to lead effectively due to ongoing concerns about decision-making, integrity, and problem-solving.

I believe the key issues include a perceived lack of impartiality in addressing challenges, a failure to demonstrate accountability, and actions that do not align with the member-centred values essential to our community. These issues create a lack of trust which undermines the association's mission and jeopardizes the inclusive, supportive environment needed for players, families, and volunteers to thrive.

I believe change is necessary to restore confidence, ensure fair leadership and refocus on fostering a positive and transparent environment for all members of the Raiders hockey association.
