Dozens of deaths in Canada linked to searing heat wave

Vancouver, June 30 (RHC)-- In Canada, officials estimate dozens of people across British Columbia have died in connection with the record-shattering, climate change-driven heat wave that engulfed the western U.S. and Canada in recent days. 

Over 230 deaths have been reported in the region since Friday, around 100 more than would be considered normal in that time span. 

In Edmonton, Alberta, community outreach workers shifted their focus from COVID prevention to making sure unhoused people could survive the dangerously high temperatures.
