Meagan Duhamel was born on December 8, 1985 in Sudbury, Ontario and raised in Lively, Ontario. She is of Finnish descent on her mother's side. She is studying holistic health. She became a vegan in December 2008. In July 2014, it was announced that she was engaged to Bruno Marcotte. The couple married on June 5, 2015 in Bermuda.
Duhamel began skating when she was three years old. At age 14, she moved to Barrie, Ontario to train at the Mariposa School of Skating.
Duhamel competed in both singles and pairs for several years. She teamed up with Ryan Arnold in the spring of 2004. They were the first skaters to perform a side-by-side triple Lutz jump in competition, which they did at the 2005 Canadian Championships. They ended their partnership in March 2006. Duhamel had a stress fracture and was off the ice for four months. She withdrew from both her Grand Prix events due to injury. She competed at the 2007 Canadian Championships and placed sixth; it was the last time she competed as a single skater. She was coached by Lee Barkell.
