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!

This is most important - part of our national heritage andidentity, as well as a great music not dependent on charity or commercial support.

Music is so important to our culture - it is horible to see something like this happen! we need to preserve our music and our musicians.

I can\'t find anything like the CBC anywhere else on the dial. The orchestra and present programming should be retained until the listeners, express the desire for changes and say what the changes could or should be.

Jennifer Gaze
Please stop guessing at what you think we want. We zoomers want our cultural icons in place - not erradicated!

Keep the CBC Orchestra - it is an integral part of Canada\'s Cultural scene

If this goes it will be another nail in the coffin of CBC.

Few of our cultural treasures are left - the CBC is the only keeper of visual/audio culture in the country. What more needs to be said?

Radio 2 in its classical format has been the oasis in a desert of many \"popular music\" stations in this area. Let me get this straight: you wan\'t to join this crowd ?
Louise Guy
As a fatithful listener to the CBC it would be a tremendous loss to me not to have the music of the CBC Orchestra to look forward to. Please do not take this away from us Lou8ise Guy

I hope Jian Ghomeishi signed this thing, \'cos I feel like his show\'s the leading edge in killing CBC\'s commitment to classical music. Killing it softly, of course.
Frank Butler
Music is the universal language and the CBC Radio Orchestra is part of our collective Cdn heritage. PM Harper and company, get with the (music)program!!

Compared to many other Western Democratic countries, Canada does so very little to support the arts. The arts enrich our lives and makes us more of who we are. Surely supporting the CBC Orchestra is the very least our federal government can do.
Pia Christensen
If a tiny country like Denmark (population 5.468 million) can support a National Symphony Orchestra and 2 national choirs, Canada should be able to manage 1 orchestra

Why would we destroy a tool like the CBC Radio Orchestra who is so important for our canadian identity?

All this talk of heritage and Canadian content, and these turkeys gut the best resource we have... the last Radio Orchestra in North America... shame.

Please keep the Orchestra playing, and retain some worthwhile culture in Canada, to offset brain-numbing television and radio!

Classical music on CBC Radio and Radio Canada got me through my undergraduate work. I would not want to deprive successive generations of this important balm for the soul.
