Episode Details

When Ottawa hit record-breaking heat, residents like Jane Boucher faced a double disaster: scorching temperatures and the lingering aftermath of a July storm that flooded her building’s basement, knocked out power and elevators, and left her mother hospitalized after a fall. With no fire system on the 25th floor, Boucher fears staying put is unsafe — and she’s lost irreplaceable family photos, likely ruined by sewer water. While others scramble to salvage belongings from flooded lockers, some like Jane Ogden stay pragmatic, relying on insurance and fans to cope — even as the city’s heat and broken elevators make recovery a grueling, layered ordeal.
