The Tolmie ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia ) that governed British Columbia from August 21, 1928, to November 15, 1933. It was led by Simon Fraser Tolmie , the 21st premier of British Columbia , and was composed of members of the Conservative Party .
