# The Death of Canadian Institutions

CBC Orchestra: gone.

Canadian Tire Catalogue: gone.

Is it C_C acronyms that are disappearing of are we losing Canadian institutions faster than I can keep up.

The CBC Radio Orchestra was the last radio orchestra in North America. It was started in 1938 during radio’s hay days.

Canadian Tire Catalogue, well, I vaguely remember ordering Christmas presents from this and the Eaton’s catalogue. That activity was short lived.

What else is gone?
