By Aaron Humes: Today’s venue, Battlefield Park, stands in the middle of Belizean history, per Mayor Bernard Wagner. Overlooked by statues of Antonio Soberanis and George Price, who once roamed its spaces preaching a Belizean revolution, it faces the High Court and is not far from the Swing Bridge. All these are reminders that our work is not done, though so much has been done.
44 is an age for reflection, he said in welcoming today’s guests – a chance to look back and ask what more can we do, but also a time to celebrate – a (mostly) free and fair country, with a resilient economy and a positive outlook. But there is still work to do in confronting poverty, citizen safety and climate change.
“If the history of this sacred ground teaches us anything, it is that Belizeans endure, Belizeans flourish,” Mayor Wagner said, going on to reiterate the Old Capital’s continuing evolution – electric buses and taxis, a planned renovation of the harbour front, infrastructure including planned replacements of the Belcan and Swing Bridges. But Belize City is still mostly driven by its people – vendors, entrepreneurs, workers – “ordinary people, doing extraordinary things,” in the Mayor’s words.
And our future is being written in the classrooms, on the sports fields, in our neighborhoods and by the choices we make each day, he concluded.
