Dear friends, It is with deep sadness that we wish to inform you of the death of Wycliffe’s sixth Principal, the Reverend Canon Doctor Reginald Francis Stackhouse. Principal Stackhouse died at Toronto Western Hospital on December 14, 2016. He was 91 years old. “Reg” as he was affectionately known in the halls of Wycliffe, served as the College’s Principal, during the years from 1975 to 1986.
