The entire film is now online at the CBC website (thanks RushFanForever). Geddy Lee's character appears throughout the film sitting in a barber chair but with a towel over his head and a disguised voice. He only reveals himself at the end of the movie during the credits as pictured here.
UPDATE - 2/11@1:02PM: You can check out Geddy Lee at about the 2:35 mark of this behind the scenes video (thanks VapourTrail).

Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is a sequence of stories by Canadian author Stephen Leacock that was first published 100 years ago in 1912. It is generally considered to be one of the most enduring classics of Canadian humorous literature. In celebration of the 100th anniversary, the CBC will be airing a film adaptation of the book this coming Sunday, February 12th. Canadian actress Jill Hennessy appears in the film and was interviewed for the CBC this morning to discuss her role. About 4:25 into her interview she reveals that Geddy Lee makes some kind of mysterious cameo appearance in the film:

A CBC production of Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town films scenes on King St. in Millbrook on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Filming started Monday and is slated to continue until Friday.
This was probably during the time RUSH was writing 'Clockwork Angels'.
