FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- Canada's City TV’s largest morning show, Breakfast Television aired a live broadcast from Freeport on Wednesday from Memories Grand Bahama Resort & Casino.

The broadcast took place as a result of combined efforts of the Ministry of Tourism’s Director of Bahamas Tourist Office in Toronto Paul Strachan, and Sunwing Properties Grand Bahama (Memories).

The show's host, Kevin Frankish, interviewed Director General of Tourism, Joy Jibrulu as well as General Manager at Memories Gabriel Varela.

One of the main topics discussed was the less than three-hour-long direct flight schedule to Grand Bahama from Canadian cities such as Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Calgary.

According to Mr. Varela, the property is currently operating at full occupancy, which is good for tourism, the employees, and Grand Bahama.

The television crew, having come from minus 20 degree weather in Canada, was ecstatic to be in The Bahamas enjoying mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-70s.
