Could you please send me the current contact information for your group?
OH, Facebook or any other group info is welcome.
I found one list online but the information is not up to date.
Post the info here or PM me.

Only have info from 6 groups on here so far. I know there are lots more.
Looking to have a complete list to post here in a week or so.

thanks

Hi Linda;

We have an 'informal' coffee group in Orillia. We don't really have a leader but there are a couple of us (Jennifer_rpn or myself) that are usually always there.

Tim Horton's - Westmount Drive Orillia (beside Zehr's)
First Thursday of Each Month
7pm

People can feel free to contact me anytime.

There is also a Barrie Group lead by Sharrol - I will get more details and foward them too. It is the third Saturday of the month at the Church of the Nazareen on Ferris Lane. I will get the exact address, leader's name/contact and time and post.

Thanks,

Kristie

Ooops, just saw this Linda!

We have a group in Mississauga (although very few of us actually live here. LOL Odd.) Anyway, we meet monthly, but it's more of an informal coffee night usually.  I always post about it on the forum to let people know.  We've also had a few breakfasts, dinners and lunches and a couple of weeks ago we went trampolining!  Anyway, the best way to find out about Mississauga is to PM me.

Not sure who is aware of this but there is a place on the Ontario Bariatric Network website where you can list your support group/coffee night information.

http://www.ontariobariatricnetwork.ca/groups.aspx

Check it out and send them your info if it is missing or needs to be updated.
