Jonathan Drouin parents
According to the Montreal Gazette, Jonathan Drouin was born to Serge and Brigitte Drouin. His parents have dedicated their lives to supporting underprivileged children. Both work at the Huberdeau Youth Centre near Mont-Tremblant, where Serge serves as a security guard and Brigitte provides care through cooking, cleaning, and other nurturing tasks. Growing up, Drouin frequently visited the center and interacted with the children his parents helped, many of whom were his age. In an interview with the Montreal Gazette, his agent Allan Walsh reflected on this influence, stating,
“He would go with his parents to work at different times and meet the kids. Many times, they were about his age. I think Jonathan is very sensitive to people who are less fortunate than him growing up in less fortunate circumstances. This work of his is truly coming from his heart and not just something he’s doing for the sake of doing it.”
