Peltoniemi’s notice period expires in mid-April. Mr Peltoniemi was elected to lead Piispala in late 2019.
Bishopric has been struggling financially in recent years. Negotiations on changes that began last year ended last week and as a result, all Piispala staff will be laid off for two weeks in the spring. More layoffs could be on the cards.
Piispala’s booking situation has been weak outside of the high season.
There is accommodation in Piispala and, for example, camp schools, religious camps, various organization events and camping activities are organized there.
Peltoniemi’s resignation was first reported by Viiden Kunnan Sanomat.
