About Us
We are passionate about public broadcasting and the CBC’s role in Canadian culture. The CBC gives voice to citizens across this vast country.
Our current campaign aims to reverse CBC management’s decision to drastically reduce intelligent and sensitive classical music programming on Radio 2. We are deeply worried by programming changes to CBC Radio 2. Despite statements to the contrary by the CBC, there is far less programming devoted to classical music, and less time for Canadian composers and performers to be heard. This situation drastically reduces opportunities for Canadian musicians whose choice and strength is in classical music and who deserve to be heard and appreciated, here, and around the world.
If you agree to lend your name to our nationwide efforts, you can add your name to our list of supporters, sign petitions, write letters to CBC and government to ask for changes. This site is full of information to help you understand the issues, as well as materials for letter-writing, petitioning, and rallies you may download, print, copy and distribute, plus other tools to help spread the word.
If you represent an organization, business, or arts presenter, we would like you to consider hosting a letter writing campaign and/or petition placement at your office or upcoming event. There are samples of both on our website: click on “You Can Take Action” menu. Addresses of politicians and CBC management are there too.
If you or your organization support this cause and would like your name included on our list of supporters, please click here.
Together we can effect change!
