Hazel Mae: Before I Let You Go

About this event

Adults (18+). Host Update: Legendary Canadian broadcaster Melissa Grelo is now hosting this event. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ernie Clement is no longer able to participate. Beloved Toronto Blue Jays sportscaster Hazel Mae shares her open and insightful new memoir. In Before I Let You Go, Mae invites us into a candid, behind-the-scenes look at her life, from her early days in the Philippines to her arrival in Canada and her rise through the ranks of sports journalism. With warmth and wit, she reflects on breaking into broadcasting, navigating the US sports media scene, returning home to cover the Toronto Blue Jays, and mastering the art of the post game interview—often while dodging celebratory Gatorade showers. Hazel Mae speaks with broadcaster Melissa Grelo about her memoir and life as one of Canada's most recognizable broadcasters. Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
