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!

Cutting the orchestra cuts far more than 8 concerts; it undermines Canadian composers and Canadian culture. Short-sighted indeed!

The loss of the orchestra will be felt deeply in rural areas. A sad, sad decision.

Classical music is a part of Canadian Culture that shouldn\'t be cut off.

I do not like the thought of a country were the majorty of the population no longer knows what an orchestra is.

It is obvious that the CBC Board is not in touch with the needs of Canadians. I shudder to think what they have in mind for the funds now supposedly freed up.

As George Zuckerman said in an interview, the cost of maintaining this orchestra is about the same as one missile...

It is bad enough that educators don\'t encourage the arts,because of funding and poor judgements in making decisions, do the right thing for once

What a disgraceful, mercenary decision! Canadians need this orchestra and Radio 2 as a bulwark against the pablum culture from the south. CBC should cultivate the audience for culture; it shouldn\'t pander to the LCD!

The general decline of quality broadcasting by the CBC due to cuts in funding is a very sad affair. Loss of this vibrant,uniquely Canadian orchestra is ,it would seem, another blow to the Canadians who appreciate what this wonderful ensemble does.

I love the CBC Radio and the orchestra. Please keep them around!

Why would anyone want to scrap a national treasure? And there are so few to cherish.

This one\'s from the kids. We\'re in this too! Save the CBC Orchestra!

Culture does not come from the end of a hockey stick! Ditch the hockey, keep the orchestra, and fix CBC 2 to give the orchestra airtime and a voice.
Chris Boyle
When Canada gets something right, some philistine has to destroy it in the name of fiscal responsibility, political correctness or some other a-cultural stupidity. We have no culture and here we are destroying one of the REAL Canadian cultural icons.

This is yet another example of our country\'s musical & artistic HERITAGE at risk of being lost forever!! We cannot let it slip away... Some things are more valuable than money & CULTURE is certainly one!
