Obesity & Weight Management

Monday, November 2, 2026
5:30 to 7:30 pm

FREE

Presenter: Dr. Sara Ahmed.

Dr. Sara Ahmed, MD ABIM ABOM - Medical Director, Founder of Metamed.

Metamed was founded by Dr. Sara Ahmed, MD, ABIM, ABOM, an Internal Medicine physician with advanced training in Obesity Management from Harvard University.

Early in her medical career, Dr. Ahmed recognized obesity as one of the most significant threats to healthcare, leading to complex and dangerous medical conditions. She saw the gap in knowledge about obesity, the prevalent biases against individuals with obesity, and the challenge of managing this condition effectively. Through patient encounters, she realized that while medications may help, they don't always deliver lasting results and patients are often hesitant about long-term reliance on medication.

Understanding the limitations of the current healthcare system, particularly with short physician visits, Dr. Ahmed knew that neither patients nor community physicians could adequately manage obesity. She envisioned a comprehensive program that combines medical expertise with lifestyle interventions for sustainable, long-term results. To bring her vision to life, Dr. Ahmed assembled a team of behavioral experts to provide compassionate, individualized, and goal-driven care that promotes overall well-being and vitality.

Today, Metamed is rapidly becoming a leading weight management and obesity clinic in Canada, focused on expanding its services nationwide through both virtual and in-clinic care. Dr. Ahmed's mission is to create a respectful, patient-centered environment where individuals can receive the time, support, and resources they need to take control of their health and achieve lasting transformation.

Dr. Sara Ahmed is a board-certified internal medicine and obesity specialist with more than 10 years of experience managing complex medical conditions and obesity. She is a caring and compassionate physician whose philosophy is to provide comprehensive and results-oriented care to her patients. With her years of experience working in numerous cities across North America, Dr. Ahmed is well equipped to manage patients from multi-ethnic backgrounds.

She is affiliated with Hamilton Health Sciences and offers inpatient and outpatient care in the greater Niagara region. She holds and on her bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto and completed her medical training in Rochester, New York. She trained in obesity medicine through the Harvard Blackburn obesity program and is certified by the American Board of obesity medicine. She also received training in aesthetic medicine and is certified through the American Board of aesthetic medicine.

She is renowned amongst her patients and the community as a compassionate, dedicated, and caring physician. At home, Dr. Ahmed is a wife and mother of two young children. She enjoys painting, cooking, and traveling for leisure. In addition, she is also active in local newspapers and social media and utilizes these platforms to educate community members.

Workshop presented by Officer Lou Lisi.

About Officer Lou Lisi:
* Retired from CN in November of 2018 after a 33-year career as a CN (Canadian National Railway Company) Police Officer and in the latter years, a Staff Sergeant responsible for Network Security and Intelligence.
* Certified as a Security Analyst through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and also advanced trained in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
* Currently, a volunteer at Safe City Mississauga. ~ Info from LinkedIn.

Read: Be Aware of AI-Powered Fraud by Ron Fanfair, Financial Crimes, Toronto Police Service, March 11, 2026.
* At a news conference held at police headquarters on March 11, Detective David Coffey said investigators are seeing an increase in fraud schemes powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
* "Artificial intelligence (AI) is not creating entirely new scams, but it is making existing scams far more convincing," he explained.
* "Criminals are now able to gather information faster, personalize their approach and impersonate trusted individuals or organizations, such as banks, government agencies and even the police, with far greater credibility," he said.
* "Scammers use AI tools to quickly scan social media, online profiles and other public sources to tailor their scams with remarkable precision. Today's scammers may know where you work, who your family members are and which bank you use. That information allows them to create a story that feels very real."

This workshop will help you understand how AI-enabled fraud works, including voice cloning and deepfake videos.

Countering Hate in Our Community
presented by
Peel Regional Police
at
River Grove Seniors Friendship Club

Thursday, November 26, 2026 - 1:00 to 2:00 pm

Hello, Members of River Grove Seniors Friendship Club:
Sign-up to attend this November 26, 2026 Guest Speaker Session: Countering Hate in Our Community.

Hate is a complex issue which affects us all, directly or indirectly.
* It causes indescribable hurt and harm whether it is expressed towards individuals or communities, locally or globally.
* When we experience hate, it leaves a lasting negative impact on how we see ourselves, our communities and the world around us.
* We all have a role to play in addressing hate, no matter how it is classified or to whom it is directed
* The only way to create meaningful, long-lasting change is to be unified in our response and challenge hate in all its forms.

The Peel Regional Police has crafted a program to explore the complex issues of hate.
They are uniting with the Community to develop a resource that they believe will be instrumental in understanding and countering hate.
They will be our Guest Speakers on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm.

Please join us for the session to learn small steps that you can take to become part of the solution.

Refreshments will not be served. Please feel free to bring your water/beverage to the session.
