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 is a vital part of Canadian life, and it is an outrage that\'s its cancellation has been proposed -- an insult to fine musicians and to a musical culture that is vital and has endured for generations.

Please keep the CBC orchestra and classical programming on CBC Radio 2. We need to protect and promote the masterworks of classical music. If CBC won\'t do that, there is no point in having the station.

Even if I am an Italian, I really appreciate the high quality of the CBC radio 2 programming: Studio sparks, Here\'s to you etc. It would be a pity if in the end all we would get was just another(mainstream)station. We really need CBC quality!
