Save CBC Orchestra - All Petition Signatories

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!

Once a tradition like the CBC Radio Orchestra is destroyed, it will never return - certainly not in this time of cultural dismantling. Please, live up to the CBC\'s mandate of investing in Canadian art music.

As a retiree, CBC Radio 2 is a always a part of my listening day of which the CBC Orchestra plays a very big part. Please save our cultural heritage.

Since the Canadian audience for classical music is large, loyal, and of all ages, the CBC\'s decisions to shove aside so many of the programs on Radio Two and to shut down the Radio Orchestra are counterproductive and thoroughly senseless.
