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.

Gwoka, the Guadeloupean drum that UNESCO has enshrined in history

In Pointe-à-Pitre, a bronze statue depicts a seated man with a ka drum between his legs. It pays tribute to Vélo, one of the greatest masters of gwoka, the Guadeloupean music that emerged from the resistance to slavery. Since 2014, UNESCO has designated it as a World Heritage Site. A Tambouyé Turned into a Statue Marcel Lollia, known as Vélo, was born on December 7, 1931, and died on June 5, 1984. He trained several generations of ka players—a drum carved from a tree trunk and covered with a stretched skin. He also inspired Akiyo, a cultural movement advocating for identity founded in 1979, which brought gwoka out of the small circles where it was still surviving. On June 5, 2004, twenty years after his death, a statue by sculptor Jacky Poullier was unveiled in Pointe-à-Pitre, modeled after an earlier Guadeloupean portrait dedicated to another of the island’s great figures.

Barbuda: More than 5,000 frigatebirds in an extraordinary lagoon.

In Barbuda, the show begins even before you spot the birds. There is no road leading to the Codrington Lagoon sanctuary. You have to board a boat, travel across the water through the mangroves, and then watch as the black silhouettes of the magnificent frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens) come into view—their colony is one of the largest in the Caribbean. This fact alone is enough to reveal another side of Barbuda. Beyond its pink beaches, the island is home to a lagoon where more than 5,000 of these birds have been recorded, in a colony where a scientific survey counted 1,743 nests. Here, you discover the destination by looking up and understanding the role this lagoon plays in the balance of the entire island. A Ramsar-designated lagoon, nestled between mangroves and reefs The Codrington Lagoon covers 3,600 hectares and has been recognized as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar

Martinique – Cécile Vernant: Behind the Scenes of “Man Mélé!” at the Senate’s Orangerie.

At the Senate Orangery, Man Mélé! took on a dimension that Cécile Vernant could not have fully anticipated before the doors opened. As the days went by, the exhibition became a space for encounters, conversations, and exchanges between artists and visitors. Surrounding the artworks, discussions revolved around Martinique and nature, but also memories, cultures, and sensibilities from far beyond the island. The calm before the crowd arrives Every morning, Cécile Vernant arrived before the park opened at 11 a.m. The garden was quiet. She would pass joggers, watch the tai chi groups among the chestnut trees, and enjoy the scent of the flowers. She loved this “calm before the storm.” A few hours later, the atmosphere would change. Cécile Vernant estimates that the Orangerie, which is about 600 m², could accommodate up to 400 visitors at its peak over the course of three to four hours. The busiest day reportedly
