Pets may be kept in married quarters in Ralston, but they must be controlled in accordance with the regulations published by CFB Suffield. Quarters that have housed pets will require more extensive cleaning than quarters that have not had pets living in them. The heating ducts need to be professionally cleaned, the cost of which is passed onto the occupants of the quarter on departure from BATUS. Pets are not allowed in hirings in Medicine Hat, Redcliff, Calgary or Cochrane. Pets are not allowed to be kept in single quarters in CFB Suffield. All pets are to be registered annually with the Ralston Gym from where the registration of pets is controlled.
