Circulation

At the beginning of each month, the Red Deer Scene is first published online. At the same time, it is sent into print production to be delivered before the first Friday of each month. Then, 1,200 hard copies are hand delivered to over 100 supporting businesses in the city. You’ve likely SCENE them around town in  our custom made vinyl record holders! We have a 90% retention rate after picking up around 100 Scenes each month. Grab your physical copy while you can!
