Matthew Pegg - Former Toronto Fire Chief | Crisis and Risk Management | Leadership Expert | Mental Health Champion
Chief Matthew Pegg served more than 32 years as a first responder, including eight years as the chief of Canada’s largest fire and emergency services. In March 2020, he was appointed the City of Toronto’s COVID-19 Incident Commander, where he led the development and operation of one of the largest and most complex incident management systems in North American history. In short, Pegg is at his best when things are at their very worst. Drawing from his extraordinary career, he shares important life and leadership lessons learned while facing immense pressure, imminent danger, and intense public scrutiny.
Hailing as a farm kid from rural Ontario, Pegg’s career in fire services began in 1992, when he became a firefighter for the town of Georgina at the age of 18. He negotiated the first collective agreement with the town on behalf of IAFF Local 3691 as the association’s president. After becoming the deputy chief in Georgina, he was recruited by Ajax Fire and Emergency Services in 2002 to serve as their deputy chief, followed by Brampton in 2008. He joined Toronto Fire Services in 2013 and was promoted to Fire Chief in 2016.
Pegg has been at the helm of some of the largest emergencies Toronto’s seen. His efforts have left him the recipient of several honours including the Heroism and Community Service Medal, Ontario Medal of Firefighter’s Bravery, the Canadian Fire Service Exemplary Service Medal, the Ontario Fire Services Long Service Medal, and the King Charles III Coronation Medal for public service. In 2021, Toronto Life ranked him the 6th most influential person in the city.
