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.

Lake Enriquillo: About 40 meters below sea level, a Caribbean giant

In the southwestern part of the Dominican Republic, the landscape seems to defy geography. Lake Enriquillo, said to be the largest lake in the Caribbean, lies in a depression whose surface is 40 meters below sea level. It is a vast saltwater lake with no outlet to the ocean, home to American crocodiles and iguanas. Behind this very concrete scene lies a much broader question: how did such a unique lake come to be here, and what does it reveal about the territory that surrounds it? Lake Enriquillo, a lake with no outlet to the sea One of the keys lies in the very shape of the basin. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), a government research agency specializing in Earth sciences, describes Lake Enriquillo and the neighboring Lake Azuéi in Haiti as two salt lakes located in the Hispaniola rift valley. Both occupy a closed basin: their waters have

Ida Does: Filming Affiba to Bring Forgotten Lives to Light

On August 31, 1896, in Paramaribo, Affiba Maria Magdalena Dompig rode through the city in a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by several generations of her family. The photograph of that moment, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, became—130 years later—the starting point for*Affiba — The Eldest Woman of Paramaribo*, the new documentary by Ida Does. Through this story, the Surinamese-Caribbean director continues her ongoing work: looking at archives in a new light and bringing lives that have long remained on the margins back into the spotlight. It is in this space between traces and memory that Ida Does works. Affiba, a Face That Transcends Time In the photograph, Affiba is looking at the camera. Standing beside her are two of her children, a granddaughter, and a great-granddaughter. The Rijksmuseum dates the scene to August 31, 1896, and notes that Affiba was considered the oldest woman in Paramaribo at the time. The photographer
