Formerly located just south of the town was a recording studio, called Le Studio, built in 1974, which is now closed. The facility was used by numerous Canadian and international artists. In 1994, another important music recording facility was built in Morin-Heights, on the northern edge of town. Conceived and built by Swedish-born artist Lars Westvind, Studio Nomade exclusively hosted Sarah McLachlan's recording projects up to 2000. It then was open to other artists, and is still a frequently used production facility. The town hosts a theatre company featuring mostly English-language plays, as well as a choir.
