Who We Are
We are a public interest groundswell of Canadian citizens and listeners from around the world who are concerned about the changes being implemented by management of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation at the CBC: Radio Two (2) and also CBC-TV. We are passionate about public broadcasting and the role that CBC plays in Canadian culture and the voice it gives to citizens across this vast country.
The focus of our current campaign is the CBC management decision to eliminate the CBC Radio Orchestra by November 2008 and the massive changes to the Radio 2 schedule that reduce considerably the nation’s commitment to Canadian classically-trained musicians and composers. Radio orchestras are internationally recognized as essential and independent voices of a nation’s creativity. The CBC Radio Orchestra’s history of fostering new talent in many genres helps make the nation’s cultural fabric stronger.. And that strengthened cultural fabric leads to a deeper understanding, both nationally and internationally, of who we are as Canadians.
We are calling on the CBC board and management to:
Restore the CBC Radio Orchestra within a revitalized CBC Radio
On this site you will find information, addresses to write to, flyers and other materials you may download, print, copy and distribute, plus other tools to help spread the word and call on everyone to write letters.
Together we can affect change!
