Grenada – Strengthening summer service: Air Canada increases flight frequency between Toronto and Grenada

Air Canada

Air Canada marks a further step in its international development strategy with the addition of a second weekly flight between Toronto and Grenada. From June 2, 2025, the airline will offer an additional service every Monday, in addition to the existing Sunday flight. This initiative, which will run until August 31, is designed to meet the growing demand from Canadian travelers, while supporting Grenada’s tourism economy during the key Spicemas period.

New organization of Air Canada flights to Grenada

The expansion of Air Canada service between Toronto and Granada means greater flexibility for travellers. Monday’s flight will leave Toronto at 9:15 a.m. and arrive in Granada at 2:35 p.m., while the return leg will leave Granada at 3:35 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 9:25 p.m.

This organization, designed to optimize passenger comfort, maximizes the time spent on the island without wasting unnecessary time in transit. Air Canada is thus a key player in strengthening connectivity between Canada and Grenada.

Why is Air Canada targeting the Canadian market?

Air Canada ‘s decision to increase the frequency of its flights to Grenada is no small one. Canada remains one of the most important outbound markets for the destination, according to Petra Roach, General Manager of the Grenada Tourism Authority. Faced with potentially declining demand from the United States and international economic uncertainty, it is strategic to consolidate links with markets considered stable and dynamic.

Canadian travelers, encouraged by a favorable exchange rate and a strong interest in authentic destinations, are showing strong enthusiasm for the summer season. Their tendency to extend their stay and get involved in local life generates a positive economic impact on Grenada’s entire tourism chain. By adding a second weekly flight between Toronto and Granada, Air Canada is responding to a buoyant market dynamic and its desire to support the sector’s sustainable growth.

Spicemas 2025: a flagship season for tourism in Granada

The Air Canada flight schedule has been carefully timed to coincide with Spicemas, a major cultural event in Granada. In 2025, Spicemas will run from August 1 to 12, with highlights on August 11 and 12, the dates of Carnival Monday and Tuesday. Every year, this period attracts a varied public, who come to enjoy the island’s local traditions, costume parades and musical richness.

With the addition of a Monday flight, Air Canada enables Canadian travellers to plan their stay around these key dates, without calendar constraints. This strategic choice encourages participation in all the festivities and optimizes the tourist experience, while supporting the local economy at a crucial time of year.

Benefits for Canadian travellers

Air Canada’s increased flight frequency offers multiple benefits to travellers. On the one hand, the increased flexibility makes it easier to plan stays, whether for family vacations, extended stays or short breaks around Spicemas. On the other hand, special offers from Grenadian hotels, such as Sandals Grenada, which offers up to 1,300 Canadian dollars off certain packages, make the destination even more attractive.

By adapting its offer, Air Canada is meeting the expectations of customers looking for authenticity, comfort and cultural discoveries. Canadians benefit from simplified access to Granada, with convenient schedules and competitive fares, while enjoying total immersion in the local culture.

Economic benefits and prospects for Grenada

The addition of a second weekly flight by Air Canada is part of a process of diversification and economic resilience for Grenada. By attracting more Canadian visitors, the island reduces its dependence on other markets and strengthens the stability of its tourism sector. According to the Grenada Tourism Authority, this strategy aims to ensure the sustainability of local tourism and create economic opportunities for the population.

By increasing the number of flights, Air Canada is also helping to strengthen ties between Canada and Grenada, promoting cultural and economic exchanges. This approach is part of a long-term vision, in which the sustainability and quality of the tourism offering take precedence over simply increasing the number of visitors.

By adding a second weekly flight between Toronto and Grenada, Air Canada is demonstrating its commitment to supporting the island’s tourism development while meeting the expectations of Canadian travellers. This initiative, designed for the summer season and Spicemas 2025, offers unprecedented flexibility, economic advantages and an enriching experience for all. Thanks to Air Canada’s commitment, Grenada has become a destination of choice for Canadians in search of authenticity and a change of scenery.

Jamaica – Reggae legend Stephen Cat Coore dies aged 69

Stephen Cat Coore died at the age of 69, leaving the Caribbean bereft of one of its most consistent and demanding artisans. Guitarist, singer, composer and co-founder of the group Third World, he embodies a singular trajectory in the history of Jamaican music: that of a creator who chose continuity, rigor and thoughtful openness rather than rupture or effect. His death is not just that of a renowned musician. It marks the loss of a cultural landmark, of a man who knew how to think of reggae as a space for dialogue between Caribbean heritage and the global circulation of sounds. A musical heritage steeped in Jamaican history Stephen Cat Coore was born in a Jamaica where music was already structuring the collective narrative. Son of Bunny Ruggs, a member of the Maytals, he grew up in the shadow of a heritage shaped by ska, rocksteady and the first expressions

Haiti – Rara: street music, spirituality and social protest

The Haitian Rara is neither processional music nor seasonal entertainment. It is a structuring social fact. It’s rooted in the country’s history, religious practices, social hierarchies and modes of protest. Present in the streets, on the roads, in towns and outlying districts alike, Rara articulates sound, movement and speech in a collective logic that goes far beyond musical performance. In Haiti, Rara is part of a precise temporality, mobilizing entire communities and transforming public space into a place of ritualized expression. It is at once a spiritual practice, a social organization and a popular language. Rara: a collective practice before being a musical genre It cannot be understood as a simple sound style. It functions as a cultural season and a collective scheme. For several weeks, bands organize themselves, rehearse, build their instruments, prepare their routes and appearances. This preparation involves responsibilities, defined roles and an internal hierarchy that structure
