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!

A Canadian musical institution being terminated by insensitive central Canadian bureaucrats. This would never happen if the CBC Orchestra was based in Toronto.

Please don\'t let the CBC Radio become just another boring radio station. We love the CBC Radio Orchestra and would sorely miss it.

Our music describes Canadian intelligence and diversity,what our unique Canuck collective is capable of saying. We can afford this orchestra. All voices,not just the easily understood ones, but the more complex ones,too!

I am among several amateur musicians who are very distressed by the CBC\'s evident decision to undermine its classical music offerings by slashing its classical programs on Radio 2 and, now, by terminating the CBC Radio Orchestra.

Music is very important in education. Get rid of it and the last remains of intellegent young adults will be lost. Music is an art and shouldn\'t be abandoned.

Please save the CBC orchestra and CBC Radio 2 classical programming...they have a devoted audience.

If our CBC Orchestra dies, then so does the future for so many young Canadian Musicians! Will their wonderful talents also be wasted by your decision, Mark Steinmetz? Rethink what you are doing to Canadians!

CBC Orchestra is our heritage and an extremely important part of the Canadian Classical Muic scene. It shoud not be disbanded because of financial reasons.

This is an alarming decision and takes away a treasured and consistently enjoyed Canadian identity and culture; an opportunity for all of us to be proud of our music and a legacy to encourage and educate our children. Don\'t do this!

So easy to sink to the bottom, and so hard to provide quality and culture...so why, when we have it, would we want to throw it away?

How many fine institutions that have helped to define Canada have to be destroyed before our identity is lost forever?
