- Terry_Donahoe abstract "Terence Richard Boyd Donahoe (October 30, 1944 – November 30, 2005) was a former Nova Scotia opposition leader, cabinet minister, and MLA. Terry Donahoe was born in Halifax on October 30, 1944, and came from a prominent political family. His father Richard was Mayor of Halifax and later served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Public Health and Welfare and Attorney-General between 1956 and 1970 and was a Senator from 1979 to 1984.[1] Donahoe's older brother Art was also an MLA and served as Deputy Speaker from 1978 to 1981 and then Speaker of the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia from 1981 until 1991, before becoming Secretary General of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.Donahoe was educated at St. Mary's High School in Halifax, after which he went to Saint Mary's University.[2] He graduated in 1964 and then attended Dalhousie Law School. After completing his law degree, he joined the Halifax law firm of Blois, Nickerson, Palmeter and Bryson in 1967.He was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 1978 provincial election as a Progressive Conservative, serving for 19 years. He represented Halifax Cornwallis from 1978 to 1993, then Halifax Citadel (succeeding his brother Art) until he resigned in 1997 to run federally.In Cabinet, he served in several posts, including Education[3], Tourism and Culture, Environment, Labour, Attorney General and Chair of the Management Board.[4] He held the education portfolio for eight years. In that ministry, he was a strong supporter of the public education system, pushing for more money for schools and championing new programs. He also amalgamated the several hundred school boards into just under thirty, and introduced the first Acadian school board, precursor of the present-day Provincial Acadian School Board. The Education Act of 1981 gave legal recognition to the category of "Acadian schools" where French is taught as a first language and where French is used as a language of instruction.When Premier Donald Cameron stepped down on election night after the Conservatives' were defeated in 1993, Donahoe was named interim leader of the Progressive Conservatives and leader of the official opposition. In this capacity, he was credited with providing direction and holding together a demoralized caucus in disarray. He served for two years before being succeeded by John Hamm who later led the party to power in the 1999 provincial election.In the 1997 federal election, he ran for the Progressive Conservatives in Halifax. That campaign was a three way race which saw New Democratic Party leader Alexa McDonough get elected, while Donahoe finished second, ahead of Liberal incumbent, Mary Clancy.In 1985, Donahoe was awarded an honorary doctorate in education from l'Université Sainte-Anne. In 2001, he received an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Saint Mary's University.[5] Donahoe also donated a plaque commemorating the connection between Saint Mary's and the Charitable Irish Society. Donahoe died of cancer on November 30, 2005, at the age of 61. He left behind his wife Lynne and his daughter Moira Schrader, brother, Arthur; and sisters Cathleen, Sheila, Nora and Ellen. The flags at Province House in Halifax and on provincial buildings in his former constituency were lowered at half-mast when he died.".
