The National Day of Action to Save CBC Radio Orchestra and Radio2 has allowed Canadians to raise their voices from coast-to-coast in this rolling protest. Several hundred supporters of the CBC Radio Orchestra and lovers of classical music and Canadian culture, protested outside of CBC headquarters on Cambie Street in Vancouver at 9:00 a.m. this morning as similar actions took place across the country. The message was clear: Canadians believe that this orchestra is a relevant part of our Canadian culture, supports the CBC mandate of nurturing Canadian musicians and composers, and is worth preserving. The termination of the orchestra has sparked patriotism amongst Canadians. Beyond the obvious value of this national and historic orchestra, the CBC Radio Orchestra has come to symbolize those parts of our arts and cultural heritage that give Canada its distinctness and richness.
