A public health spokesperson says the number of weather-related ER visits to Toronto hospitals over the three-day heat wave is consistent with the health risks of heat exposure, "particularly for vulnerable populations."

Toronto Paramedic Services say they saw a "slight increase" in overall call volume from Sunday to Tuesday, but they are unable to track how many calls are directly related to heat even though it may be a contributing factor.

Ottawa also set a new June 23 heat record when the temperature there topped out at over 35 C.

Ottawa Paramedic Service said on Wednesday that it had responded to 14 calls directly related to heat since Saturday, with all but one patients in stable condition.

They say an elderly man with dementia was found in a backyard suffering from heat stroke on Monday, and was stabilized before he was taken to hospital in critical condition.

The Office of the Chief Coroner didn't have information about any recent heat-related deaths in the province, saying they are difficult to track accurately.

"It is very challenging to determine with accuracy whether heat was a direct factor in causing a death," spokesperson Stephanie Rea said in an email. "In many cases, a person may present to a hospital for a pre-existing condition exacerbated by the heat."

Rea said only accidental deaths that are directly related to heat, such as hyperthermia or dehydration, are reported to the coroner for investigation.

While the heat warning officially lifted Wednesday in many parts of the province, relief is expected to be short-lived as Environment Canada forecasts temperatures will climb again to the high 20s starting Friday for parts of southwestern Ontario.
