Canadian Funds For Red Cedar

Funding by the Canadian government of a five-year market development program for red cedar shingles and shakes has been announced by the Red Cedar Shingle & Handsplit Shake Bureau, a Bellevue, Wa., trade organization that represents shake and shingle mills in the northwestern United States and British Columbia.

"There will be a federal contribution of more than $7 million, over the next five years, from Canada's Western Diversification Fund. It will greatly augment a program aimed at increasing demand in the United States for these products. The Bureau, as the recognized authority, has been selected to administer the funds, as part of the ongoing promotion of our Certigrade and Certi-Split labels," said Mike Westfall, president of the bureau.

"In recent years there has been an erosion of the U.S. market, as a result bf aggressive campaigns by much larger competitive roofing manufacturers. And, since nearly 1000/o of Canadian production of shakes and shingles is marketed in the U.S., the Canadian government has taken a giant step to help the industry to once again reach its full potential in product sales, and to create new jobs in this and peripheral industries on both sides of the border," he added.

The program will be directed at specihc geographic and demographic markets, to enhance product image and acceptance. It will include a substantial educational program aimed at builders, architects, roofing con- tractors, legislative and regulatory officials and fire people.
