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!

Both Radio 1 and Radio 2 speak to Canadians and for Canadians. Radio 1 is still healthy, but Radio 2 has been butchered beyond recognition. Please don\'t degrade us by selling out our CBC!

It\'s crucial to allow our national arts organizations and instutions time to establish and reinforce traditions that contribute to our Canadian identity.

Decisions to cut classical programming and now the orchestra are beyond disappointing. These ill-considered changes will lose a good and loyal Radio 2 audience. Go to the web? Not a chance thanks.

CBC managers don\'t own the Radio Orchestra, they hold it in trust for the people of Canada. They betray that trust by this unconscionable decision.

The CBC Radio orchestra is a valuable part of Canadian culture and it encourages a love of music in people of all ages. This is worth our tax dollars.
Valerie Galvin
CBC Radio has been the best in the world for decades. You have now butchered its programming. Now you are disbanding the CBC Radio orchestra. This is a disgraceful insult to the intelligence and good taste of the Canadian people.

Please bring back the Radio Orchestra, Music for a While, Sound Advice, In Performance, etc. Please don\'t cut any more classical music programs. CBC Radio 2 has linked Canadians for years and is part of our cultural heritage.

The CBC and the CBC Radio Orchestra are both Canadian national features that help define our personality among nations. They both must continue to function

Don\'t do it!

CBC should be aspiring to educate and inform not only from the journalist point but also on the musical front. Please maintain a position of leadership and keep important culture alive.

There are dfamned few cultural icons that we can count as truly Canadian, and the CBC and its Orchestra are among them. Let\'s not forfeit the little bits of our unique identity that still remain to us!

Let\'s hang on to as many national institutions as we can. As a taxpayer, I am happy to support culture over corporate tax breaks.

Over the last few years our CBC radio has been diminished. Please! Let us keep the Orchestra!!!!

Canada\'s heritage is not just aboriginal peoples and pioneers. If we are to preserve our culture in the face of the media domination by our neighbour to the south, then we need the CBC Radio Orchestra.
