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!

One of our most enjoyable evenings was experiencing the excellence and warmth of the CBC Radio Orchestra at the Chan recently - a backwards step for Canada

The BBC in Britian still has 5 functioning orchestras, and we can\'t afford to keep one going? Shame on the CBC and the federal funders.

When I am enjoying a concert at the Chan with the CBC Radio Orchestra, I notice that the ages in the audience span at least four generations. Please do not deprive us of our beloved orchestra

Cutting CBC Orchestra and CBC Radio2 programming is not to be thought of! Please keep the wonderful classical programming intact.
Cammi MacKinlay
The orchestra is outstanding - it is an institution that should be treasured and retained! Please reverse this foolish decision.
Manuel Erickson
Bit by bit, Canada\'s sovereignty is being ripped apart. You\'re doing your share by dismantling the CBC Radio Orchestra which has been a Canadian icon for 2.5 generations. Shame! Now, be patriotic and cancel this myopic decision.

Canadian Sovereignty is already compromised enough. Keep your filthy hands off one of our last vestiges of the Arts that employs skilled artisans that contribute to the better culture we need to encourage, not disband to the free market.

Please restore this wonderful Canadian institution and keep Radio2 as a classical music station. A. Glen

The CBC provides a unique and important service to Canadians and it has already been \'privatized\' enough. Please don\'t further downgrade it by dumping the the CBC Radio Orchestra!
John & Ruth Pankhurst
Please do not disband this unique Canadian Orchestra which is known around the world for giving young Canadian artists and composers a voice.

I will make it a religious question: Are you sure that you are right? Do you know enough to say that you are right? The CBC should support Canadian art music that is not heard elsewhere.

The CBC Radio Orchestra must live. It\'s a public resource. It does not threaten the Conservative political machine and is not an ephemeral “Canadian Idol” pop cultural whim. It contributes to the future as a mature institution. Don’t kill it!

Please keep this wonderful addition to our nation\'s cultural scene

This is an important institution! Don\'t let it slip away! admin - please do not give out my email address, thanks

This orchestra must not be dissolved. The CBC uses public money. The public wants the orchestra. The public does NOT want The Key of Charles. The CBC can regain its reputation by saving the CBCorchestra. PLEASE - do so.

While Classical music does not appeal to everyone, it does have a trickle-down effect and it is to the benefit of our country as a whole to support and maintain outstanding cultural and artistic organizations!

The calibre of the programs and orchestra deserve the support of the nation. One definition of \"culture\" is to identify what is unique in the artistic expression of a society: the CBC orchestra is one example.

Classical music is relevant to all forms of music, and it could easily be said that without the classical programming of CBC Two, Canada would have become America, culturally speaking, decades ago.

Canadian policies have, at most, been a weak and disappointing enterprise in regards to media. Our media is homogenized. CBC should be more accountable.
Patricia Crossley
This can\'t be true ---- we need wonderful music such as this orchestra can make. Also, we need the wonderful programs on CBC Radio2 --- don\'t cut DiscDrive or StudioSparks.
Leslie Rockwell
I wish to express my dismay at the impending changes to the format of CBC 2. I can turn to many other stations to access generic \"easy listening\" content. CBC 2 is the only station that makes classical music regularly available to the public.
