A small four-person bench in a cedar shed.
CedarEdge is built by four people who share a one-storey shed on Granville Street. The workshop notes below say what we do, in plain Canadian English.
01. Why a cedar-room page exists at all
The first sketch of the cedar room was on a paper napkin in November of 2024. We had spent a week looking at reel-style web pages built by larger studios, and we did not like the way any of them treated the visitor. The pages were stitched together to keep an adult clicking, not to give them a quiet pastime. We thought a small, finite, free-play page could be built without that pressure — if we kept it short, kept it un-monetised, and kept it editorial.
Six months later, that paper napkin became this site.
02. Who the four of us are
None of us are clinicians or financial advisers; we are a front-end engineer, a copy-editor, a print designer, and a part-time librarian who keeps the project on schedule. We split the work in plain pairs — one writes a section, another reads it back to themselves out loud, and we keep the version that survives the second pass.
03. The workshop bench, in initials
Visitors sometimes ask for headshots. We do not publish photographs of any of us because we would rather the writing carry the page. The initials below stand in for that. Each of us looks after one part of the site — the bench rotates every six weeks.
Marisol Coelho
Front-end engineer
Keeps the cedar-room engine tidy and writes the small bits of JavaScript that make a round settle. No third-party trackers on her watch.
Theo Brenner
Copy editor
Reads every word on the site out loud. If a sentence does not survive being spoken in a quiet room, it does not survive on the page.
Ines Vasquez
Print designer
Picks the Pacific Cedar palette and the cedar marks. Her bench is the closest to the door, which is why the spring breeze finds it first.
Renaud Joly
Part-time librarian
Keeps the project on schedule and reads the mail. Translates Quebec emails into English when they arrive in French.
04. What the cedar room is not
It is not a draw, a sweepstake, a contest, or an operator site. It does not accept payment of any kind — not by card, not by bank transfer, not in tokens that resolve to currency anywhere else. The point counter on the cedar-room page resets every visit; nothing is held server-side about who pressed SPIN when.
We are not affiliated with any provincial regulator or operator. Nothing on this page should be read as a recommendation to play a real-money game elsewhere.
05. What we plan to ship next
A French build is on the list — we want to make a copy that reads naturally in Quebec French rather than a literal translation. The workshop is also slowly extending the cedar-room marks from six to eight, but each new mark takes about two weeks because Ines insists on hand-drawing them first on paper.
