**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](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Coulson-Group-of-Companies).

## History

Coulson Cedar began “working to develop a revolutionary new product” in 2010 using Western Red Cedar.[\[1\]](#fn1)

[Foster Coulson](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/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.[\[2\]](#fn2) 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.[\[3\]](#fn3)

Coulson Cedar would go on to help build Ronald McDonald House BC, and partner with the American Institute of Architects’ continuing education program.[\[4\]](#fn4)

As of September 2023, Coulson Cedar products were listed on the website for the Home Depot.[\[5\]](#fn5)
