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!

Disbanding the CBC Orchestra is a short-sighted and appalling decision. The orchestra is a national treasure.
Tom Krawchuk
Do not turn the CBC into yet another marketing opportunity. The uniqueness of the programming is what gives CBC radio a fond place in our home.

The only reason I listen to CBC is for the classical and jazz music. Increase their programming, and DO NOT decrease them.

Getting rid of the orchestra is NOT an option.

\"Sound Advice\" is one of my favourite things to listen to on Saturdays. I think this is a great mistake.
Robert Doll
My goodness--with all these CBC changes what will \"22 Minutes\" have to lampoon?!

What are uniquely Canadian values? Why not fund the CBC Orchestra by a very tiny reduction of our vast military spending in Afghanistan?
Susan LeLievre
Margaret Schotte
I have grown up with the CBC, learned to love opera by listening on Saturday afternoons, and tune in on-line from abroad; please don\'t change such a beloved institution!

If Sussex Drive as part of our Canadian Heritage is worth $1,000,000 in restorations, then why can we not see that the CBC Orchestra is also a precious part of our Canadian Heritage and worth the investment! Our Canada includes the CBC Radio Orchestra!!

As an owner, a Canadian, of the CBC I resent this commercialization of this wonderful vehicle that All Canadians can appreciate.

I cannot believe that I am to lose all those wonderful classical music programs and the Orchestra. This must be reversed.
Marion Cooney

Keep the orchestra, it\'s unique. And bring back the classical emphasis to Radio 2.

Please bring the orchestra back, and also CBC Radio2 as it used to be with classy persons like Danielle Charbonneau, et cetera... STOP THE DUMBING DOWN, CBC!
Dr. Keith Kinder
Cutting classical music programming reminds me of plans during the French Revolution to demolish the spire on Strassbourg Cathedral because it towered over other buildings. We should not demolish our spires, but instead build new ones to accompany them.

The CBC Orchestra is a national treasure, making an outstanding contribution to the musical spectrum in this country, also highlighting music of Canadian composers. The loss of the CBC Orchestra would be tragic.
