Canada's National Post reported the following piece of Geddy Lee news in today's edition:

... rocker Geddy Lee is (hopefully) saving up his appetite. He's confirmed as a "guest judge" at the great Canadian chef cook-off known as the "Gold Medal Plates," happening next week at the Convention Centre.

From the Gold Medal Plates website:

Gold Medal Plates is the ultimate celebration of Canadian Excellence in cuisine, wine, entertainment and athletic achievement. Celebrating in six cities across Canada in 2009, Gold Medal Plates will feature superb wines and the premier chefs in each city, paired with Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes, in a competition to crown a gold, silver and bronze medal culinary team in each city, and subsequently nation-wide.

Founded in 2003, the goal of Gold Medal Plates is to raise substantial funds for Canada's high performance athletes, while celebrating Canadian excellence. Since 2004, this event has received tremendous support and accolades all across Canada, and generated a combined net total of $2.8 million for Canada's Olympic and Paralympic athletes!

Geddy will be appearing at the Toronto event which takes place next Thursday, November 19th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Thanks to RushFanForever for the heads up.
