Clinique du PEPS, Université Laval

What Clinique du PEPS, Université Laval does

The Clinique du PEPS is the on-site sports medicine, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation clinic embedded within PEPS (Pavillon d'éducation physique et des sports), the sports complex of Université Laval — a public French-language university founded in 1852 and located in Québec City, Canada. The facility, situated at 2300 rue de la Terrasse on the university campus, operates as part of the university's Service des activités sportives (Sports Activities Department) and serves Université Laval students, staff, and faculty alongside the broader Québec City community.

PEPS delivers a unified sports and recreation platform built around more than 400 structured activities, leagues, and clubs across 14 categories — including aquatic, martial arts, cardio-vélo, fitness conditioning, dance, climbing, fencing, golf, racket sports, ice sports, trampoline, yoga/pilates, and CPR/first aid training. The underlying technology stack is modest: an online activity registration portal (inscriptionsweb.peps.ulaval.ca), a court and terrain reservation system (RTPEPS), and a separate booking site for the integrated Centre de tennis de l'Université Laval. The Clinique du PEPS adds professional health services (sports medicine, physiotherapy, wellness) directly into the recreation environment.

Revenue is generated through five main streams: recurring membership and subscription fees (with tiered student, adult, and family plans), per-activity registration fees for structured programs, facility and equipment rentals (sports courts, gymnasiums, meeting rooms), youth programming (summer camps, March break camps, development camps, children's parties, school groups), and corporate event and team-building services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, combining an online registration portal with on-site walk-in access and seasonal promotional campaigns. Marketing spans organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an email newsletter (Infolettre), the peps.ulaval.ca website, and cross-promotion through Université Laval's institutional channels and the Rouge et Or athletics program. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, consistent with the operation's status as a non-commercial unit of a public university.
