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!

why are we losing everything canadian...

My Canada indeed includes the CBC Radio Orchestra. Please reverse the decision to cut it; the cost is small compared with the cost of having it, its musicians and its programming eliminated from our lives.

This orchestra\'s heritage and historical role in Canada\'s musical life is incredibly significant and special. Please find a way to maintain it!

Oh (for goodness sake) Canada!!!! at least this with all the other crazy cut backs happening. I guess we always have syndicated US radio flooding Canadian airwaves to fall back on!?

This is a part of our heritage. Cultural organizations that are national and easily accessed are what helps give Canadians a shared experience and idntity, especially orginizations that promote Canadian culture.

The only station I have listened to since the days of Max Ferguson is crumbling as I write.

We need to continue to foster our cultural identity and support the potential of our emerging canadian musicians and composers. Please lead us somewhere where it means something wholesome to be Canadian, not into a business modeled cultural anonymaty.

This orchestra is part of what makes the CBC so special and unique. We must not destroy any part of it.
Arran Walshe
Canada needs culture!
Maureen Yohemas
Our cultural organizations continue to be eroded through lack of funding. It is our music, art and literature that will define this generation to future generations -- not our hockey teams! Why is there never a lack of money to support that business?

The CBC has been a culture-maker and a culture-leader. It is my hope that CBC and the federal government continue to show leadership.

CBC Radio orchestra is such an important part of the musical and cultural identity of Canada. Please keep it!

I especially oppose because the orchestra has been available to record new music created by aspiring Canadian composers and these artists should have the opportunity of the performances the orchestra has provided in the past.
