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!

Dissolving the CBC Radio Orchestra has to be one of the more regressive stupid moves of late. You can reverse this and redeem yourselves. Please do so!

Civilisation, the world over, depends on countries who can afford to support the high arts, to show this powerful light to humanity.

Their commissions from Canadian composers are so important. First the cancellation of \"Two New Hours\" and now this undermine the Canadian New Music scene.

The current moves to downsize and reduce public funding for CBC is counterproductive. Lets keep the Orchestra and keep a publicly funded CBC.

We deplore the philistanism about to overtake Radio 2.

Even in a town with a symphony orchestra there are only a few concerts a year. CBC Radio 2 provides many of us the opportunity to hear Canadian music and artists which may be readily available in large cities but not in small communities.

This fine orchestra must be saved and backed lon-term. If it is not Canada\'s reputation will be besmirched.

No toher orchestra in Canada fosters the talents of young and forward thinking composers and records them for national broadcast. Do MORE concerts a year, not less.

The arts are invaluable to our society and our community and key to the development of children - where would we be without music

We need to encourage Canadian creativity in music and allow the CBC Radio Orchestra to continue to commission new works of musical art.

I am asking that the CBC Radio Orchestra be retained and encouraged with proper funding. CBC has been, and should continue to be a crucial part of the Canadian cultural fabric. Thank you. L. Scott

It is art that makes sense of life and gives the citizens the compassion and intelligence to be positive and productive citizens.

A country needs to have a diverse culture, not one of only music designed for the younger generation. The CBC radio orchestra provides a way of life of our country.

The dismantling of the CBC Orchestra contributes to the erosion of Canadian culture. Why is this not obvious?

I am so proud of our CBC Radio orchestra. To dismantle this excellent group of musicians is a dreadful mistake. CBC = Canada!!!

This is Canada. CBC radio and all that makes it. We need to keep music alive at all costs. I listen to it everyday.
