The PM has announced that to honor Belize's national heroes, the Western Highway will be renamed George Price Highway.  The Northern Highway will be renamed Philip Goldson Highway.  Great idea!  Happy Independence Day!

 

"HONORING OUR NATIONAL HEROES: The Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister Mr. Dean has just announced the renaming of the Western and Northern Highways.  The Western Highway is now the George Price Highway.  The Northern Highway is not the Phillip Goldson Highway Way to go our National Heroes."

Creations of Thank You - Tribute George Price

What a great video made to honor George Price!  It was made by Positive Belize Music and Belmopan Youths.  There's a touching story on how they all come together to make the video too.  Happy National Service Day!  


"As youths who have been working to impact change in our country we decided that we have to take it up yet another step—we saw the opportunity to challenge the young people of Belize in seeking real solutions for the issues affecting us as a nation.  In this one night, a mere 7 hours of reflecting on such a National Hero, we saw that we already have the solutions locked up in the speeches of our hero... but it's now time to take action...  


So now to all my proud Belizeans, be the change for he gave us a reason and leave your country a better place than you found it!"
