We are sorry the weather did not co-operate and we were unable to land in North Bay, Ontario to attend the convocation ceremony and accept our honorary degrees in person as planned. Thanks to our friends at Sportsnet who were able to tape the intended speeches when we landed back in Toronto so they could be posted here. Thank you Nipissing University! — Dr. Lee (Hon), Dr. Lifeson (Hon), Dr. Peart (Hon) Alex: http://vimeo.com/98068056 Geddy: http://vimeo.com/98071869
