This is what the heat wave was like in one of Canada's densest neighbourhoods

“The whole 13 hours we didn't have water,” Breshna Kayoumi, a longtime resident of 375 Bleecker Street, northeast of Toronto’s downtown core, said. “It’s like the people in community housing don’t count as human.”

It’s just been an incredibly difficult week with everything that’s been going on,” the 24-year-old said.
