The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario ran a full slate of candidates in the 1985 provincial election, and won 52 seats out of 130 to win a minority government. They were defeated in the legislature shortly after the election. Many of the party's candidates have their own biography pages; information about others may be found here. ==Harriet Wolman (Oakwood)== Wolman is a legal conveyancer in private life. She was elected to the York Borough Board of Education for the city's second ward in 1974, and was named chairman of the board after being re-elected without opposition two years later.〔Beverly Bowen, "Example of resurgence Liberals see hope in Oakwood", ''Globe and Mail'', 19 April 1985, M3.〕 Shortly after her appointment, she argued that the board should play a stronger role in fighting racism in Toronto.〔"Schools must fight racism, chairman says", ''Toronto Star'', 10 January 1977, A1.〕 She later defended the purchase of a $250,000 country camp in 1978, arguing that the board had previously spent large sums of money to rent other facilities for outdoor studies.〔"Only money", ''Globe and Mail'', 22 February 1978, P6.〕 Endorsed for re-election by the ''Globe and Mail'' newspaper in 1978, she was narrowly returned despite the controversy over the board's purchase.〔"Gems are scarce for trustee electors", ''Globe and Mail'', 8 November 1978, P6.〕 She was not re-appointed as chairman.
