The American-born Dennis-Davies, who has called Toronto home since 2011, is now in her fourth month on the job. Some fruits of that labour came out Thursday in the form of an open letter from Dennis-Davies and MLSE president and CEO Michael Friisdahl, accompanied by a written commitment to address systemic racism and advance social justice. We recognize that MLSE and its platform is just one small part of a solution to a problem that has plagued our society for generations, but we also know that our influence, and our ability to help make positive change happen in our society, can be powerful and enduring, Friisdahl wrote.
