Entrepreneurs for over 60 years. Family owned and operated since 1960, the Coulson Group of Companies began with Coulson Forest Products. During the 1990s, the Coulson Group expanded into Aviation and have become global leaders in aerial firefighting, emergency personnel transport and other heavy lift operations. Coulson Aviation operates in North America, South America and Australia and we expect to expand our specialized missions to other countries around the world. In addition to aviation, the Coulson Group operates Port Alberni’s local gaming centre and restaurant, Chances RimRock and Cypress Restaurant. In 2012, the Coulson Group further expanded with the founding of Coulson Ice Blast, a wet & dry ice blasting cleaning technology & equipment business.
