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!

My Great Uncle, Jack Avison (1915-1983) was the founding conductor of the CBC Vancouver Chamber Orchestra. I am extremely dissapointed and ashamed to hear about the recent decision to disband it.

I believe the CBC should represent the diversity of music in Canada which includes a strong home-grown version of classical music, not based on the market model, but to provide interesting and valuable program for radio audiences here and abroad.

I would just like to say that the CBC Orchestra is part of the Canadian heritage. This must be continue for all citizens of Canada.

Does this action by the Conservative gov\'t suggest that PM Harper and Security Man Stockwell Day do not listen to classical music? I guess I am not surprised - they seem more like fans of Celine Dion (not her French songs).

This is what happens when bureaucrats are put in charge of culture. Shame on you!

Scrapping Canada\'s only truly national orchestra and the last radio orchestra in North America only highlights the managerial short-sightedness of the CBC.

Harper apparently ain\'t so musical as his name. Save the orchestra; cut the PM.

CBC radio and CBC Orchestra IS Canada! I am so proud to be able to boast about these two CBC components that make our country so unique. Please preserve our radio programme and orchestra . I do not see CBC TV programmes as I do not have a TV.

I have been listening to CBC FM/2 since I was young (I\'m 68). Shame on you for taking away an important part of being Canadian, and valuing quality and depth.
