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!

As a music student the CBC Radio Orchestra was very important for my exposure to classical music that I would not otherwise have had.

The CBC Orchestra is the last remaining radio orchestra in North America - Please save this musical heritage of Canada!

The CBC is Canada\'s cultural credibility. We care what the world thinks of us.

Canada without the CBC FM programming and the CBC Orchestra is unique and truely Canadian. How can you even think of getting rid of this resource!

CBC Radio 2 has announced changes to minimize the amount of classical music it will broadcast. Now you want to close down an excellent classical orchestra as well. Please reconsider. CBC will lose more supporters and voters with this attitude.

I stongly object to the changes for CBC Radio2 Many radio stations supply the run of the mill programming, the national broadcaster who should aim to elevate and broaden the tastes of its listeners. Classical listeners will be forced to turn to America.

Classical music including the orchestra are what set CBC 2 above and apart from all else on the airwaves. Please save this enrichment of our culture for us and our children!

Who else will make it a priority to record the unjustly neglected works of Canada\'s composers?
Patricia Coldren
Let the CBC once again stand for cultural enrichment rather than cultural impoverishment for Canadians. We need the CBC radio orchestra.

We must not let this go. We are a country with enough wealth to support an orchestra.
Lorne Smith
Please keep the CBC orchestra going. This has been a radio landmark in Canada for many years and its loss will be a significant blow to both Canadian classical music and Canadian radio broadcasting.
J. Robert Mah
CBC Radio 2 and the CBC Radio Orchestra unite a sprawling country in Classical music. Pop, jazz, and folk music is already well served through other media. CBC must continue to do what it does best - or lose its relevance altogether.
Dave Stephenson
The CBC does not exist for the purpose of achieving high ratings - that is a concern only for commercial stations. We expect the CBC to provide what commercial stations cannot.
Sarah Banting
This is a big deal for a lot of Canadians. Is cutting it really necessary? What\'s happening to CBC?
Katharine Albrecht
Please save the orchestra and reinstate your classical music programming - you are leaving a huge hole in the Canadian Arts scene if you make the planned cuts.
Patricia Wright
Please save the CBC orchestra and save the classical programming of CBC 2.

It is beyond comprehension as to why a symphony orchestra is expendable so that we can hear more easy listening music..............sincerely Paul Fairman
