Whelan is derived from the Gaelic word ‘faolán’ meaning ‘little wolf.’ The wolf symbolizes strength, loyalty, and guardianship — core values we strive for at Whelan Construction.

Wolves inhabited Ireland for millennia until they were wiped out by colonizers in the 17th century. Coastal sea wolves and interior gray wolves still roam the northwest Pacific region of B.C., but a provincial wolf cull program and sport hunting and trapping of wolves point to misguided and ineffective wildlife management policies affecting these family-oriented apex predators, vital to a functioning ecosystem.

Whelan is a proud partner of Pacific Wild, an incredible organization working to stop the wolf cull and #SaveBCWolves.
