The Kanata-Carleton NDP riding association is delighted to announce that Dave Belcher was elected as the riding’s ONDP candidate. The riding association held their nomination meeting Monday, January 27, 2025.

Born and raised in Stittsville, Dave moved to Kanata in 2009 where he now resides with his wife and children.  

With a degree in History and English from the University of Western and a Bachelor of Education from Ottawa University, Dave has worked as an educator with the Ottawa District School Board at West Carleton high school in Dunrobin since 2008.  Dave was actively involved in the school community and supported students through a number of programs, most notably the school’s leadership camp, which he helped organize and run for many years.

In 2020, Dave moved from the classroom to full time work with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, providing support to teachers throughout the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. In this role he has been a consistent advocate for a properly funded and well-functioning education system.  He will work tirelessly to reverse the damages done to our public education system.

Dave shares NDP Leader Marit Stiles vision that Ontario should be a province full of opportunity, and is disappointed that after 7 years of Ford’s Conservatives, the province is failing on Education, Healthcare, Housing and Affordability. 

Dave asserted “This election, although called for cynical and self-serving reasons, presents an amazing opportunity for positive change that includes everyone. A future built by a Marit Stiles NDP government that will include building homes, hiring doctors, fixing schools, protecting seniors and making life more affordable.”
