Loisirs et Sports Neufchâtel

What Loisirs et Sports Neufchâtel does

Loisirs et Sports Neufchâtel is a non-profit community recreation organization (OBNL) founded in 1977 and operating since 1978, serving residents of Quebec City's Neufchâtel-Est sector. The organization employs approximately 11 staff members — 6-7 full-time administrative personnel supplemented by seasonal workers — and operates from two facilities: the Centre communautaire Charles-Auguste-Savard at 2155 boulevard Bastien and the Maison Mauger at 2185 boulevard Bastien. Its mandate is to deliver accessible community-based recreation and leisure programming to local residents in cooperation with municipal and regional partners.

The organization's core offerings are organized activity programs spanning sports, dance, and fitness; summer day camps; and facility rentals to local community groups and residents. Program registration runs on the Qidigo SaaS platform, with administrative operations supported by Cyberimpact for email, Agendrix for staff scheduling, and Nethris for payroll and HR. Programming is delivered partly by in-house staff and partly through a network of partner sports instructors (karate, soccer, tennis, pickleball, badminton, etc.). The portfolio has expanded in recent years to include a free sports equipment lending service (launched April 2024 with ULSCN funding), a ludothèque / toy library (launched September 2025), and a free psychomotor room for children aged 0-5.

The business model is funded through a mix of activity registration fees (typically $70-$525 per session), facility rental income, day camp fees, and memberships. Pricing is differentiated between neighborhood residents and non-residents, with subsidized or free services offered on selected programs. The organization also receives grants from municipal and regional bodies, including the Ville de Québec and the Unité de loisir et sport de la Capitale-Nationale (ULSCN). Day camp operations for 2026 are planned across 7 weeks at 2 sites for 34 days of service, reflecting ongoing capacity expansion of seasonal programming.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Ville de Québec — Service des loisirs et des sports: Municipal recreation service that funds and coordinates borough-level recreation. Functions as both LSN's core strategic partner and a larger counterpart operating similar programming citywide.
• YMCA du Québec: Established non-profit delivering fitness, sports, day camps, and community programming across Quebec. Serves the same recreational and community-development mission as LSN but at much larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Accès-Loisirs Québec: Province-wide OBNL umbrella that coordinates free access to recreational activities across Quebec. Both a strategic partner of LSN and a broader peer operating in the same recreational-access mission at scale.
• Boys and Girls Club of Quebec: National youth-focused non-profit offering after-school programs, sports, and summer camps. Comparable in youth-development mission and camp offering, though broader in scope and capacity than LSN.

Direct peers

• Loisir et Sport Montcalm: Community recreation organization for the Montcalm sector of Quebec City providing similar sports, fitness, and event programming under the same municipal recreation framework as LSN.
• Loisirs Saint-Émile: Neighbourhood-level OBNL delivering recreation activities, sports instruction, and community programming in the Saint-Émile sector of Quebec City. Comparable in scope, funding model (Ville de Québec), and target population to LSN.
• Centre communautaire de Charlesbourg: OBNL community centre in another Quebec City borough offering recreation programming, facility rentals, and community services. Same non-profit community-recreation model serving a single neighbourhood in Quebec City, making it the closest structural peer to LSN.
• Maison de la famille de Québec: Quebec City OBNL offering family- and youth-oriented community programming including activities, events, and support services. Overlaps with LSN's family, youth, and community-event mandate.

Regional players

• Regroupement des organismes communautaires de la Capitale-Nationale (ROCN): Regional coalition of community organizations in the Capitale-Nationale region, including recreation-focused OBNLs. Thematic peer for LSN in the regional non-profit infrastructure and advocacy landscape.
