Coulson Cedar is a Canadian lumber manufacturing company based in Port Alberni, British Columbia. It is a division of Coulson Manufacturing, part of the Coulson Group of Companies.
¶ History
Coulson Cedar began “working to develop a revolutionary new product” in 2010 using Western Red Cedar.[1]
Foster Coulson's biography previously on the Coulson Group of Companies website said that his “passion for the environment drove him to find a more environmentally and sustainable way to provide lumber products,” which led to Coulson Cedar's founding in 2012.[2] However, a September 2012 article in the Vancouver Sun quotes Wayne Coulson as describing the company’s cedar as “a boutique product,” with no mention of Foster as the originator.[3]
Coulson Cedar would go on to help build Ronald McDonald House BC, and partner with the American Institute of Architects’ continuing education program.[4]
As of September 2023, Coulson Cedar products were listed on the website for the Home Depot.[5]
