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 an institution that government (our) money should be used for.

Music is the universal language that ties the spirit of Canada together. Don\'t waste this precious resource for the sake of a few dollars!
Ryan Scott
By pursuing the mainstream, the CBC is in direct violation of their mandate. There is no education in presenting that which is presented before and everywhere. SHAME!

I would like to see at least something that is worthwhile saving and this is.

We cannot afford to lose such an integral part of our national musical culture; we will be further impoverished. Please reconsider this decision !

I am firmly opposed to the disbanding of the CBC Radio Orchestra!

We, your faithful listeners, are already drifting away - and you need us!

The CBC Radio Orchestra and CBC radio 2 are classic architecture. Please do not dismantle them.
Loren Romei
I am a young classical singer myself and it would be sad to see one of the only things left in media appreciating classical music dissapear!
Joni McKervey

I feel very strongly that disbanding the orchestra would be a great loss for Canadians and their culture.

I would like to see the orchestra retained. It is a national institution we all share. Same with CBC 2 which is sometimes the only medium for the larger poulation to encounter classical music.
Rose Hawes
An all-classical radio station with both live and recorded music is surely a vital necessity in these troubled times. What better to soothe the soul!
Heather Nielsen
Roland Goetz
Uphold excellence and abhor mediocrity.

state intervention is good in this case because it is a case of national pride both at home and abroad. The private sector can\'t do everything. Let government do its job.

When I hear my neighbour\'s CBC Radio 2 music soaring up the stairs towards my apartment, I always smile and think, \"That\'s our CBC and I love it!\" Don\'t change it.
Doris Breker
I am one of many who love classical music-- and I can never find enough on radio or tv.
Ron Anderson
Pat Johnston
Save the CBC Orchestra and quality programming on Radio 2. As a consequence of the programming changes so far, I have listened to CBC Radio much less. Why do you want to antagonize your core listeners?
Audrey M. Owen
The Petition says it all - preserve what is precious.
Andrea Spalding
please save this wonderful orchestra
Gary Mosier
I suppose that if the CBC Orchestra relocated to Los Angeles it would be a more attractive item to air on CBC.
Barbara & Victor Gaizauskas
Classical music brings beauty, harmony, and dignity into our lives. Please do not abandon us to the hideous cacophony
Ed Staniewicz
This decision slams the door in the face of aspiring musicians and composers. Will our young folk grow up believing that there is no future or enjoyment in performing and listening to serious music.We need and want the orchestra.
