Governing Law: Official public holidays in Belize are regulated by Section 3 of the First and the Second Schedules to the Holidays Act, Chapter 289 of the Laws of Belize, revised Edition 2003, which includes the amendments made by the Holidays (Amendment) Act 1985 (No. 27 of 1985) which came into force on the 24th December, 1985, by virtue of statutory instrument 47 of 2000. • Weekend Public Holidays: Public holidays falling on a Sunday are usually moved to the following Monday. In some rare cases (eg. Commonwealth Day 2008) a public holiday that falls on a Saturday may be moved to the next Monday, by special decree (usually after the official list of public holidays for the current year has been released). However, the trend over the last years has been to use the discretionary powers afforded by section 9 of the Public Holidays Act, to give a Monday day in lieu when a fixed-date public holiday occurs on a Saturday. • Fixed Date Public Holidays: Some fixed-date, mid-week, public holidays are also moved to the nearest Monday, however this practice is being rethought. • Garifuna Awareness Day: November 19th has been a public holiday since 1943, first in the Stann Creek and Toledo districts. It became a countrywide public and bank holiday on November 19, 1977. • Belize International Codes BZ and BLZ (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .bz (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Belize information and news: Central Bank of Belize (Belize central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Belize maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Belize), and Wikipedia (includes Belize commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).
