Crocks N Rolls, or "Crocks" as it is affectionately known by local patrons, is a small, independent music venue in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The iconic red Remembrance Day poppy worn on lapels across Canada has a Thunder Bay connection.
In 1921, a Frenchwoman named Anna E. Guérin traveled to both Britain and Canada to propose making the poppy a symbol of remembrance for soldiers killed in the Great War. Her first Canadian stop was a meeting of the Great War Veterans Association of Canada (a predecessor of the Legion) held at Thunder Bay's Prince Arthur Hotel on Cumberland St.
