In 1977, Reg received the “Queen’s Jubilee Medal for worthy and devoted service” to the planning profession in Canada. In FES, Reg served in several administrative roles, including Associate Dean. He taught courses on strategic planning and management, planning processes, and environmental planning and assessment.  He supervised 52 graduate students’ research projects and papers in FES, and published more than 100 books, book chapters, reports and articles during his lifetime.  Transition, personal development and lifelong learning were enduring themes throughout his life.
