• Kitchens have fitted units and there is currently a programme underway to modernise all kitchens within the married quarters at Ralston village. Quarters in Ralston village also come with garden equipment and a power lawnmower that is shared with neighbours.


• There are no central light fittings in the living rooms, and therefore lamps are provided with the married quarters.


• On arrival you will also be given a get-you-in-pack, which you can use until your removals arrive. The get-you-in-pack consists of bedding and towels and may be kept for a total of 6 weeks.


• Married Quarters in Ralston operate on natural gas for central heating and cooking. Central heating is of the hot air re-circulating type. All quarters in Ralston are equipped with central air conditioning units. In Ralston charges for gas are raised by DND with bills paid at the BATUS Regimental Admin Office. Electricity bills are raised every month by the local electricity corporation EPCOR and a deposit of $150 is required at the beginning of the contract. This deposit is returned in the 13th month of the contract, or before if you are posted away from BATUS earlier than expected. In Medicine Hat, all utility charges are raised by the city council. These charges are paid at the Bank and because CILOT is already deducted direct from source, receipts are provided to the Admin Office where all charges are claimed back other than gas and electric.


Electrical Power Supply


Canadian electrical power is supplied at 110v/60hz, therefore not all electrical items form the UK will work. Please check manufacturers’ specifications to determine if items are dual voltage or can be used with a transformer.
