By fostering a culture of preventative care, exercise, and mental health awareness, communities can build resilience, enhance quality of life, and create a supportive environment where individuals can reach their full potential.

We thank the Ministry of Health & Wellness for collaborating with us in this year’s SOCATHON through the efforts of Councilor Hope Amadi.

Plaque Unveiling

Belmopan City Council honours Sir George Noel Brown on the occasion of his Plaque Unveiling and 81st, Birthday.

elmopan City Council honors Sir George Noel Brown on the occasion of his Plaque Unveiling and 81st, Birthday.

Today, on June 13th, a special event was held to honor the late Sir George Noel Brown, a distinguished figure in Belize. Born in Gales Point, Manatee, Sir George dedicated over four decades of his life to serving the people of Belize. He started his career as a lay magistrate and steadily climbed the ranks, eventually becoming the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Belize from 1991 to 1998. Sir George was the second native-born Belizean to hold this esteemed position, a testament to his legal acumen and commitment to justice.

Beyond his legal achievements, Sir George had a deep passion for sailing and was known for his enthusiastic support of the annual Baron Bliss Harbor Regatta races. He found great joy in observing talented football players, often mentoring and offering his support to them. His love for sports, particularly football, made him a familiar face on the field, where he quietly observed the game. In recognition of his remarkable service to the community, especially his dedication to youth and sports, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth lI bestowed upon him the title of Knight Bachelor on January 5, 1991. Today’s event commemorated Sir George’s legacy, with Lady Magdalene Brown, his wife, as the special guest, honoring his remarkable contributions to Belizean society.

This occasion was possible through the efforts of Councilor Pauline Soberanis Tillett.
