It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of the wider scope of service to the Belizean public. Today we thank the Ministry of Rural Transformation, Community Development, Labour and Local Government for nominating the Belize City Council for this year's Stakeholders Recognition Award which was accepted by our very own Mayor Bernard Wagner and City Administrator Mrs. Stephanie Lindo-Garbutt. While we are mandated to work for the citizens of our Municipality, we are immensely grateful to the Ministry for highlighting our contributions and commend all nominees for this award. Together, we will continue to reach historic heights and shape our city into the prosperous society that we all deserve to live in
