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!

This shortsighted executive should go before the CBC Radio Orchestra

Do the right thing! Save the CBC Radio Orchestra. Stop this unwise decision that will further undermine the state of all Symphony orchestras in Canada!!

You have seriously underestimated the cultural importance of this orchestra. Please rethink your decision to disband it. It is an important commissioning orchestra which provides critical opportunities for many musicians and composers in this country.

The CBC is \"dumbing down\" much programming; the cancellation of its support for the CBC Orchestra is another indication of this policy. Save the orchesta.

What a shame that we have such a small minded executive to a public funded corporation, I notice that they can afford an extremely expensive ad in the Sun Paper to tell us what a good job they are doing !

As a professional violinist in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, I can attest to the fact that the radio orchestras that folded in this country are mourned still. Do not let the same fate befall the last radio orchestra in Canada.

I am sick at heart about the disbanding the CBC Orchestra. Coupled with coming changes to Radio 2 leaves me and so many I know extremely upset. The CBC was once a champion of culture.

I will resign my membership in the Conservative Party if the Orchestra is axed. should give the CBC the extra funds and earmark them for the Orchestra.....this subsidy is peanuts compared to other major handouts and military expenditures.

Please stop destroying entities that have a national significance. The CBC orchestra means so much to so many.

It would be a big loss of Canadian heritage as well as musical education of classical music which can no longer be found in stores.
Valerie Anderson
Please listen to the many voices speaking out to save our CBC orchestra, which is a Canadian asset, and part of our cultural heritage.
Norah Lambkin
What a shortsighted petty move! So much for the \"CANADIAN\" broadcasting corporation. You certainly don\'t seem interested in broadcasting \"CANADIANS\" at all!
Viire Daniels
The CBC represents us as Canadians. So does this orchestra. These kinds of institutions are common in Europe and other areas of the world. Why not here in Canada? Is this a move to privatize areas of the CBC?
