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!

It was only a short time ago that full houses enjoyed the annual treat of the Avison Series. Then it disappeared. Now the orchestra itself. Who could have imagined such philistinism?

The Conservative Party and Mark Steinmetz are going to pay dearly for these mindless CBC management blunders.

I know we have a Conservative government, but don\'t conservatives value heritage? Why can\'t we invest in something that reminds us we\'re Canadian no matter where live?

This is part of our CANADIAN CULTURAL IDENTITY, unique to North America. With 10 billion $ surplus, surely u can avoid slashing the CBC RADIO ORCHESTRA. If we continue to \'dumb down\' CBC will be more like FOX & CNN.
