Paul Materiuk, an Owen Sound Fire and Emergency Services member, passed away unexpectedly while off-duty on Tuesday, November 23, 2021.

Paul was 41 years old and has been an Owen Sound Firefighter for 5 years. He was active in supporting veterans in our community, including leadership in the City’s Remembrance Day events and assisting in the past with the Fire Department’s annual holiday toy drive.

He enjoyed camping, fishing and scuba diving and spent many hours outdoors with his chocolate lab Ash which he loved very much.

Flags at City Hall and Owen Sound Fire and Emergency Services are lowered to half-mast in recognition of Paul’s passing and his years of service to the Owen Sound community. Our thoughts are with the Materiuk family during this difficult time.

There is no information on service arrangements at this time.
