History

Early bilateral interactions occurred as both countries shared their colonial relationship as former parts of the British Empire.

Trade

There are eight Canadian businesses in Grenada. [2]

As today, Canadian banks have an especially large role in the Grenada commercial banking industry. Canadian banks own one of the largest banks in Grenada. [2] In the early 1980s, the Canadian government contributed six million US dollar for the contraction of the Point Salines International, as today known as the Maurice Bishop International Airport.
