Eleanor Rosen was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party. She campaigned for North York's fourth council ward in the 1978, 1982 and 1988 elections, losing each time. There was some controversy in her 1982 campaign, when rival candidate Howard Moscoe informed reporters that the same ten people had signed the nomination forms for Rosen and Sydney Moscoe. Some suspected that Sydney Moscoe's candidacy was an attempt to confuse voters. Rosen pledged to close down a walkway connecting Lawrence Heights with the rest of the city. Rosen was president of the Lawrence Manor Ratepayers' Association in the mid-1980s, and opposed the Tridel corporation's construction plans in the area. She was listed as a forty-seven-year-old administrative assistant in the 1988 campaign, and called for extension of the Spadina Expressway.
Results taken from The Globe and Mail, 9 November 1982.The final results confirmed Moscoe's victory.

Sergio Marchi was elected as councillor for Ward One. He resigned in 1984, after he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada. A by-election was held to choose his replacement.
Ted Wray was a retired chief estimator for Ontario Hydro. He later campaigned to become a school trustee for North York's first ward in the 1985 and 1988 municipal elections, losing to Sheila Lambrinos both times. He was sixty years old in the 1988 campaign and spoke out against selling schools to balance the board's budget. In 1989, when serving as president of the Oakdale Acres Ratepayers Association, Wray opposed a school tax increase and argued that the board was not spending money productively. He later called for election signs to be banned to reduce pollution.
Ralph Frascino was a forty-year-old employee of Toronto Hydro. He called for a new community centre in North York's first ward.
Nick Iamonico was a first-time candidate. He later campaigned for Mayor of North York in the 1985 municipal election and finished last in a field of three candidates. His platform was centred on bolstering small business and reducing property taxes by 50%. Iamonico later campaigned for the 14th Ward on the Metro Toronto Separate School Board in 1991. He was listed as a thirty-five-year-old paralegal and stressed the need for "Christian values" in the school system. He finished third against Mary Cicogna. A 1996 report in the Ontario Law Times indicates that he was fined $10,000 for misrepresenting himself as a lawyer. Iamonico ran for mayor of Brockville in 2000, losing to Ben TeKamp.
Paul Leli was thirty-three years old and managed a tire and rubber company.
Cal Osmond was a second-time candidate. He had previously campaigned for North York's first council ward in the 1982 general election, losing to Sergio Marchi. A thirty-six-year-old traffic manager, he called for more industrial and residential development in the ward.
Mario Reda was forty-four years old. He owned a furniture store and led a ratepayer's group in the area.
Results are taken from the Toronto Star, 13 November 1984, A7. The Star only included the poll results for the top two candidates; all other candidates are listed in alphabetical order. The final official result confirmed Sergio's victory.
