Daniel Beals, Federal New Democrat Candidate
Daniel Beals first became active in the community as a student of Queen's University, earning a BA in English Literature class of 1996. Upon graduation Beals moved to Calgary, where he would meet his wife Bonnie.
Following a three year hiatus Beals returned to Kingston in 1999, where he quickly got a job with locally owned St. Lawrence Cruise Lines, and has spent the last eleven seasons working in the waterfront tourism industry.
In 2005, Daniel launched his own small business as the sole proprietor of Dreadnought Media, a game publishing company.
Since the birth of his son in 2004, Beals made a conscious goal of becoming increasingly active in the community. His efforts have had him at the forefront of key issues and events in and around the Kingston area, including the Central Public School Parents Council, the Save Democracy in Kingston campaign, the New Frills Downtown Renewal Project and the Campaign to Save Prison Farms.
New Democrats: Putting You and Your Family First
Welcome to the New Democratic Party Riding Association for Kingston & the Islands.
It is our hope that all Canadians should benefit from the NDP's policies of social equality, sustainability, and a productive economy for citizens and their families.
The NDP is also a staunch defender of the numerous public institutions in our region. These institutions represent the heart and soul of Canadian social values.
In the 2007 Provincial and 2008 Federal elections, over 10,000 voters in Kingston & the Islands chose the New Democratic Party. In 2009, it is our goal to continue to put the best interests of Kingstonians and their families first, and increase our contribution to Kingston's diverse communities.

Kingston New Democrats Respond : Local Issues Come First
September 1, 2009
As Federal Liberals begin to strategize how to take down the government; local New Democrats have renewed their commitment to provide leadership on the issues that are most relevant to Kingstonians.
Party members in Kingston have been reaching out to a number of community groups and organizations during these tough ecoomic times, with an emphasis on locally-owned business and healthy communities.
New Democrats have been leading by example in support of regional food production, urban sustainability and the localized impact of business closures - such as S&R Department Store and the No Frills grocery store in Kingston's downtown.
“We have made a conscious decision to put party rhetoric aside, in favour of trying to be productive and relevant on a daily basis,” said Daniel Beals, President of the Kingston New Democrats.
Beals acknowledged that the Kingston New Democrats have been dilligent in preparing for a possible election and the riding association hopes to hold a federal nomination meeting later this month.
“If an election were to occur, we will be ready and willing to compete with vigour. But that does not change our commitment to put the needs of our community ahead of partisanship.”
