    The best source I have found for a "room humidifier" is the Sears
catalogue. It's been a long time since I checked, but I think you could
get two of them for $1000. Free-standing, hold maybe 5 gal/20 litres,
with humidistat. Function by means of a fan blowing air through an
absorbant membrane, which wicks the water up from the tank. I would
probably get two in your situation, because one might not be enough to
overcome the HVAC system's air flow rate (assuming building codes are
similar in Canada to what we have in the US for public buildings). In
fact, two might not be enough to maintain 40% or so, but only
experimentation will tell.
    If you have plumbing in the shop, or close by, you can run a small
diameter tube to the unit through a float valve, and save the time of
filling it all the time. This kind of tubing, connectors and float
valves is very easily available in my area, since they are used for
evaporative air conditioners (the most common type here). I don't know
how available they would be in your area.
    Hope this helps.
