If you are over on the mainland anytime soon - try these guys

Edge Grain Cedar

604-463-5110

23398 Fisherman's Rd

Maple Ridge, BC V2W1B9

Good selection of both red and yellow cedar. Strips are planed and need virtually no sanding. Nice long strips - some are 21' long. Don't know about the price relative to other places but seems very reasonable.
