A village in west-central Alberta, about 88 kilometres west of Edmonton, has a unique community tradition.
Every summer the small village of Evansburg selects a resident grouch to pester, complain and grumble at others.
Nominations for this year’s grouch were due last Thursday, and when no one stepped up for the position, the village put out a call.
Margaret Hodgkinson became the grouch in 2012.

The community has elected a grouch every summer for over four decades. (Submitted by Tipple Park Museum)
