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!

We only just got to receive CBC 2 in the country and now it is being gutted in so many ways. Orchestras aren\'t all the music there is , but you don\'t think Canada can afford one radio orchestra? so sad! S.W.

Canadian composers need the CBC orchestra like visual artists need the National Gallery, actors and directors need the National Arts Centre.

It\'s a disgrace that the CBC cannot maintain such a wonderful contribution to making classical music accessible to anyone in Canada!

This is a national treasure that has an international audience. We thought that Canadians had more intelligence and grace than this move to disband this national orchestra.

It\'s the only one of its kind in the world. Isn\'t that reason enough to save it? Harper, what kind of legacy are you looking to leave?
