West Canada Homes
What We Do
WCH built its first home in Niseko in 2003 and continues to have a strong presence in the area, as well as in other resort areas such as Nikko and Hakuba. The West Canada Homes group of companies now assists clients at each step of the home-owning process. This goes from assisting clients to find their perfect block of land through our sister company, West Canada Properties (WCP), through to providing complete property management services through another sister company, The Niseko Company (TNC). The group works with clients from concept through to completion.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Canada, Paul launched WeCan Homes in 1996 with a can-do spirit that continues to this day. He would eventually change the company’s name to West Canada Homes, but it most often goes by its initials, WCH. At the start, the company worked directly in the importation of timber framing construction materials and housing-related items that appealed to those wanting specific overseas materials.
Russell is grateful to have seen WCH through an ever-growing list of outstanding properties and is honoured that the company is appreciated for its work in helping to transform the Niseko area.

Vice President
Stuart is driven to improve the solutions that WCH can provide when it comes to design, systems, and processes, and feels the most rewarding aspect of his work is seeing an architectural drawing become reality.
