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!

The CBC Radio Orchestra is a national treasure, something we can all be proud of. What madness would cause anyone to consider its destruction?

Restore my faith in the CBC! Retain the orchestra and a clear commitment to classical music in Canada.

Please reconsider your decision to disband the CBC Orchestra. It is a cultural statement to the world that Canada values music and the arts.
Lynda Baechler
Terri Tomsky
Linda Sherlow Lowdon
Don\'t we have enough stations that play jazz and popular music? Please don\'t take this unique national treasure from us!
Bob Dagenais

Classical music is no less an important part of Canadian cultural heritage as country and pop. Leave country and pop to most every other AM station, where it is already being broadcast.

Melissa Watt
Please, save the CBC Radio Orchestra.

I am outraged at the fact that closing a classical music radio station is even considered!
Mary Pat Thuma
It would be a real loss to Canada and US listeners if the orchestra was disbanded.

I have seen the disastrous effects of cuts to live performances of classical music by Radio-Canada. CBC now is setting out to do the same thing.

Disbanding the orchestra will remove one of the few remaining programming elements that lives up to the once benchmark-setting standard that made Canadians so proud of CBC Radio.

Classical music is an integral part of our past and we need to keep it alive: so that this generation can learn to appreciate it too!

We have so few strong and important cultural institutions that are truly our own that it is important to support them. Please do no lower standards to the lowest common denominator.

My tax dollars support any number of services to subsets of the community. This is one subset to which I belong and I expect the same treatment!

If Canada can give out awards to rap groups and other such things, the powers that be can at the very least maintain what many would consider to be the cornerstone of Canadian classical music.

It is so important to save classical music and this is a prime example of holding on to an Orchestra that brings so much happiness and joy to others.
Stanley Feldman
What is the point of having the CBC exist at all if the best they can offer is the same infantile rubbish that can be heard on numerous AM stations ?
Dee Hinson
Please don\'t allow the cultural philistines to win !
