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 a national disgrace. Those who have made this decision should carefully reflect on the opinions expressed in this and other similar petitions.

We need to target the person/people who have made this uncalculated decision. They will discover that there is strong opposition across this wonderful country of ours and will need to reverse their uneducated decision. Ken Klause

Please reconsider the decision to cancel the work of the CBC Orchestra. Serious Canadian music and its audience would be harmed by such a move.

Classical music is the root of music. As a musician and appreciator of art i request that this unique orchestra remain so that we may hear the sounds of our origins and appreciate the things that bring us to what we are today.

I can think but of few things that display,share, and propagate Canadian culture- and enrich it, and PROMOTE it -as effectively as the CBC(Radio andTV) and the CBC RadioOrchestra! Please, you must not silence the music,the very heartbeat, of our culture!

Preserve the classical music!

It is a wonderful orchestra that will be sadly missed by many if it goes. There must be other means for a cut. The government is sadly negligent in regards to all performers and the arts and this is not a good thing.
