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 management\'s killing of the CBC Radio Orchestra is one of the worst cuts in an seemingly unending series of cuts to the body of classical music programming on radio.

Change is good but it must be for the better - please correct your mistakes and retain/reinstate CBC\'s wonderful classical music programs.

CBC RADIO ORCHESTRA IS A FINE AMBASSADOR FOR CANADIAN MUSIC. PERFORMERS, AND CLASSICAL BRILLIANCE IN PERFORMANCE. It is UNIQUE and a PRICELESS TREASURE. CLOSING THIS ORCHESTRA IS CULTURAL, GENOCIDE.

We have witnessed over the last few years, a dumbing down of the CBC product, of which the so-called \"overhaul\" is the lastest deplorable action. Why doesn\'t CBC management get with it - do what\'s best for the country, not the bottom line.

I support classical music in Canada and wish to see Radio 2 continue with excellent music, not the mishmash of every other station. The CBC orchestra is an integral part of ensuring excellent classical music in Canada.

The one thing that has allowed me accept change as easily as I have was reminding myself that I always had the CBC and it\'s world reknown orchestra. Please reverse your decision on behalf of all of use that price this uniquely Canadian icon.

Music stations are so similar these days. CBC radio is different and the orchestra should remain part of that difference.

Cutting the orchestra and classical music programming is a surefire way to turn away present and future audiences of all ages from the CBC and elsewhere. How could you even consider this?

I am a 20-something year old and by taking away this piece of classical Canadian heritage you are also taking away what\'s left of our generation\'s connection to this art.
