Call for Neil Peart Memorial Statue in Lakeside Park

Almost 11,000 people have signed an online petition, calling for a statue of Neil Peart in Lakeside Park.

The late drummer for Rush grew up in Port Dalhousie, and even wrote a song about Lakeside Park.

Tony McLaughlin started the petition on change.org.

He says the statue would be an amazing tribute.

Peart passed away last week after a battle with brain cancer. He was 67-years-old.
