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!

The CBC orchestra and radio 2 are two of the finest cultural institutions in Canada. Why change what works so well?

Save the CBC orchestra - give your heads a shake and do things that make sense. Closing down the orchestra is not a sensible thing!

Why didn\'t CBC Radio Two spend the money, that now seems to be so plentiful, on advertising the CBC Radio Orchestras\' concerts and broadcasts.

The CBC Orchestra is an exceptional Canadian institution - both for its quality and uniqueness. We must keep it. The cost is a small price to pay for all it brings to the music in Canada.

Through the years I have been proud of the existence of the CBC Radio Orchestra, of its home in Vancouver, and the quality and contribution it makes to the classical world. Truly an international success. It belongs to Canada.
