Pitt Meadows has an extensive farming history. Despite the long distances between neighbours, farming families made the effort to celebrate and have tea together. In 1957c the Brooke family visited the Wisselink family for tea and Dutch treats (bread with chocolate sprinkles). Below is a photo of the Brooke and Wisselink families posing for a photo. The names of the individuals in the back from left to right is the following: Arthur Brooke, Phyllis Wisselink, Albert Wisselink, Wayne Wisselink, Wendy Wisselink, Lena Wisselink (mother),and Elizabeth Brooke. The names of the individuals in the front from left to right: Alfred Wisselink and Henry Wisselink, another member of the Wisselink family, and Daphne Brooke. This photo was taken on the Wisselink farm.
