By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): For the first time in Belize’s history, a woman is expected to be named a National Hero.
The historic announcement is expected during this year’s Tribute to Belizean Patriots, scheduled for later this week as part of the September Celebrations.
The woman’s identity has not yet been officially revealed.
If confirmed, she would join a very small and distinguished group that currently includes only George Cadle Price and Philip Goldson.
The designation would represent a major expansion of Belize’s highest national honour and would place a woman among the country’s most celebrated national figures.
The Tribute to Belizean Patriots recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to Belize through leadership, service, culture, public life and national development.
This year’s programme is also expected to highlight Belizeans who played important roles in the independence movement and helped guide the country from British colonial rule to full Independence in 1981.
The ceremony traditionally forms one of the major national events of September and includes several categories of awards.
The expected naming of Belize’s first woman National Hero is likely to be one of the biggest moments of this year’s celebration.
