The Chamber extends condolences to the family of the late Right Honourable, George Cadle Price

 The Belize Chamber of Commerce & Industry extends its deepest condolences to the family of the late Right Honourable, George Cadle Price, Belize’s first Prime Minister, and father of our nation; and joins the nation of Belize in mourning his passing.

Today we take our identity as citizens of Belize for granted and seldom reflect that we owe our identity as Belizeans primarily to the work and dedication of this giant of a man. May his passing remind us of the pride we hold in our Belizean identity.

Mr. Price once told the Miami Herald, "I would like to be known as a good Belizean, one who went through life on a pilgrimage and left the world a better place than I found it".  In life he inspired us to nationhood, in death may he inspire us to be "good Belizeans" buoyed by a fierce national pride and a greater sense of the responsibilities of citizenship.

Belize has lost a great patriot and National Hero. May we always seek to honor and protect his legacy and may he rest in Peace.
