One Caribbean Canada Launches Calendar Highlighting Island Events

by Bruce Parkinson February 25, 2025

The One Caribbean Canada website acts as a resource for both travel advisors and consumers. Its latest initiative is the launch of its first Caribbean Events Calendar. Available in both English and French, the calendar highlights the diverse and vibrant events taking place across the Caribbean throughout the year.

From colourful Carnivals and culinary festivals to sailing regattas and world-renowned musical events, the calendar provides an easy-to-navigate listing of events in chronological order, making it easier for Canadians and their travel advisors to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the Caribbean.

“We’re thrilled to introduce our inaugural Caribbean Event Calendar,” said Nancy Drolet, Founder of One Caribbean Canada. “Canadians have a deep appreciation for the vibrant cultural events the Caribbean offers. This calendar allows them to discover events that resonate with them, and perhaps even inspire them to explore a Caribbean destination they may not have considered before.”

One Caribbean Canada’s website is designed to be consumer-friendly while also offering full support for the travel advisor community. The site is not a booking platform but rather a hub of information, providing users with everything they need to plan their next Caribbean getaway.

With 21 Caribbean member countries, 32 hotels, and one airline – Caribbean Airlines – the website is a resource for Canadians seeking detailed, up-to-date information about travel, events, and culture in the Caribbean. The Caribbean members are also committed to supporting travel advisors across Canada and offer valuable resources for advisors who want to help clients explore the region.

Since its launch less than a year ago, OneCaribbeanCanada.ca has made significant strides in enhancing the travel experience for Canadians. Alongside the event calendar, the site now includes information on how to get married in the Caribbean, health and medical resources (including locations of hyperbaric chambers for divers), and accessible travel options throughout the region. The website also features essential details for Canadians looking to explore island-hopping possibilities with a comprehensive list of public ferries.

In addition to the calendar, One Caribbean Canada recently hosted a successful trade event, “The Caribbean Beats the January Blues,” in Burlington, Ontario. The event featured representatives of 11 Caribbean nations and was held at a local community centre, ensuring an authentic experience. The team collaborated with a Caribbean caterer, bringing the island flavours and cultural richness directly to the heart of the event.

“Our goal is to provide Canadians with the tools they need to explore new destinations and hotels, and make the most of their Caribbean adventures,” Drolet added. “We’re committed to promoting the entire region and supporting our Canadian travel advisors in their efforts to sell the Caribbean. Recently we added Guyana and Nicaragua as new destinations, so we invite our Travel Partners and their clients to explore these new countries as well.”
