Save CBC Orchestra - All Petition Signatories

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!

Our country would be the poorer if we lost the CBC Radio Orchestra. What a pleasure it is to listen to such grand music.

Please keep the CBC Radio Orchestra alive!!!

The termination of the CBC orchestra is a travesty. CBC is the only network that has the mandate to record and broadcast Canadiana. Don\'t forsake Canadian classical musicians or their audiences!

I LOVE BASSOONS!

A petty cost saving that may serve this year\'s bottom line but will leave us bereft. Keep the orchestra.

Mary Lou Stanton
As a music teacher and concert goer I am affronted that the CBC would take such a high-handed decision without public consultation.

The orchestra is an inspiration to young musicians outside of the guitar, drum & bass genre.

Unlike most 23 year olds, I love this station and find it very relaxing. I enjoy the violin works the best. Please don\'t take away this piece of heritage.

The CBC orchestra, along with the VSO and the VOA, are the soul and heart, the humanity of this city, province, country!

CBC Radio 2 has been such a fantastic station. Many in my family have the radio permanently on that station. Please keep the \"classical\" format and high Canadian content. Save the CBC Radio Orchestra!

You mess with our total cultural memory when you scrap the fine arts.What you are left with is Mcdonalds everything: corporate, flavourless, useless. Regard the horrible state of artistic culture and the mindless manner in which it is consumed.

It would be terribly sad to lose yet another piece of our cultural heritage and venue for professional musicians.
