Biographical history
Terence (Terry) Donahoe was born in Halifax N.S. on 30 October 1944. Donahoe received his Bachelor of Commerce degree from Saint Mary's University and his law degree from Dalhousie University. He married Lynne Sheehan in 1967. A member of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Party, Donahoe was first elected to the provincial legislature by the riding of Halifax Cornwallis in 1978. He was re-elected in the general elections of 1981, 1984, and 1988. Donahoe was elected as the first representative for the new riding of Halifax Citadel in 1993. He held a number of cabinet posts during his years in the legislature, including Minister of Education, Minister of Vocational and Technical Training, Minister of Labour, Minister of Government Services , Minister of Tourism Culture, Attorney General, and Minister of the Environment. He also served as Chair of the Management Board and was designated minister responsible for the Status of Women, the Civil Service Commission, and the Emergency Measures Organization. Donahoe became leader of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Party in June 1993 and, as such, served as leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition until 1995, when Dr. John F. Hamm became provincial Conservative leader. Early in 1997, Donahoe resigned his seat in the provincial legislature. He ran in the federal election held in June of that year, standing as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the Halifax riding, but was defeated.
