The city of Vancouver says there has been strong demand at five hydration stations around the city.
The stations were recently installed as part of a program to respond to heat waves.
They $1,500 units connect to fire hydrants in a way that won't impede the ability to use them to fight fires.
City councillor Andrea Reimer said the city is doing what it can, but people should also take personal responsibility.
"We're asking people that they're hydrated, that they're not going out at one o'clock without water and hats and the kinds of things they need and also to take care of the people in their community who might not be in a position to take care of themselves," said Reimer.
Vancouver launched its Extreme Hot Weather Response Plan this summer following the death of a homeless man during a heat wave last year.
