The petition is now closed. Thanks to all who took the time to sign the petition and post comments. Though the CBC Radio Orchestra's life was ended by CBC Radio, the orchestra has been reincarnated in a new form: the National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada - Orchestre national de diffusion du Canada.
Dear Mark Steinmetz and CBC Radio, Prime Minister Harper, Members of Parliament, and the Minister of Canadian Heritage. We the undersigned want the CBC Radio Orchestra saved. We believe that the orchestra is an integral part of Canada's mosaic and an important contributor to Canada's unique and rich cultural heritage. Our Canada includes the CBC Radio Orchestra!

Anyone listening to divinely inspired, classical music will agree that its import goes far beyond the mere notes in which it is written. The impact on emotions, thoughts and wellbeing is invaluable and immeasurable.
Anthony Gamage
I am a subscriber to the Vancouver Orchestra and a lover of the Cbc orchestra. Please save it
Stephen Bell
I am a member of the Canadian Opera Company and am also a operatic singer in different parts of the country. Please save this valuable Canadian Icon of classical music. Thank you

I no longer watch TV owing to its insipid programming; as for radio, CBC Radio 2 redeems this medium. CBC, ask yourself one question: does you really need to help Feist and Adams? They are doing well on commercial radio.

Don\'t make the same mistake you are making by taking away classical music on CBC Radio2.

The CBC Radio Orchestra is a prime element of Canadian Culture. Without it many Canadian voices would never be heard.

Life without classical music iis IMpossible 4 me. I thrive on it. It gives my imagination wings. I fly to higher realms where it is wonderful to abide. Do NOT take this way from all of us.

Classical music enriches the soul & lifts the spirit, sinceit is divinely inspired. Nothing replaces that!

What\'s happening at the CBC is criminal! The CBC is our national institution and the Orchestra is its prized jewel. How can anyone sabotage and vandalize something so good?

It makes no sense to get rid of the CBC Orchestra. Why would we? It\'s a regressive decision, and the first step in completely dismantling the CBC.

We are supposed to be a cultural country - having a radio orchestra is a sign of advanced citizenship like many European countries - disbanding it shows the dumbing down of Canadian culture and SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN CANADA!

Canadian cultural heritage is an important part of our community and helps us identify ourselves as Canadians. The CBC Orchestra is a key part of that heritage!

Please save the CBC Radio Orchestra. The CBC Radio Orchestra is too important to simply cease to exist. There\'s more to Canadian culture than hockey!
Jack Greenwell
The CBC radio orchestra plays serious music which cannot be found at any other source. It is the only place that Canadian composers of serious music can have their avant garde music played on a regular basis. It must be supported.
