Born at St. Boniface on 3 May 1897, son of Georgina Couture and Joseph Dubreuil, and educated at St. Boniface Collegiate, he joined the city’s Treasury Department in 1920 after serving in the First World War and working on the railways for two years.

Emond), Therese Dubreuil (wife of D. Nadeau), Louise Dubreuil (wife of H. Gregoire), Florence Dubreuil (wife of G. E. Chudley) and Annette Dubreuil (wife of G. B. Glenn).
