A researcher with the group Human Rights Watch says people with disabilities and older people are at high risk of heat stress, but they were left to cope with dangerous heat on their own.
The BC Corners Service identified 569 heat-related deaths from June 20 to July 29, and 79 per cent of those who died were aged 65 and older.
