I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire nation of Belize for supporting and indulging in the thrill of yet another successful year of La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge. It is indeed a privilege and honor to be at the forefront of such a magnificent event in representation of the legendary Harrison brothers namely, Orlando Harrison & Richard Harrison, who are responsible for pioneering this nationally renowned event; undeniably and unequivocally etched in Belize's History and Heritage.
Though March 2023 will mark three years since COVID-19 first landed in Windsor-Essex, people who cared for elderly and vulnerable loved ones are still trying to cope with what they experienced.

Her lunch, in a styrofoam container, was on a table several feet away. It was 2:30 p.m., and the container was untouched. Aline couldn’t reach it. The brakes on her wheelchair were locked so she couldn’t move.
