um that health standards for Canada not for where I live. if you humidity is below 40% you should raise it if it is above 60% you should lower it.. anywhere in between is perfect for human health and comfort.
I grew up in Edmonton also so I am used to the dry air in the winter also. when the temp hits -10 there is basically 0% humidity. and even we used to run the humidifier in the winter to maintain at least 40%. If you are getting condensation and such on the windows open the curtains and let the air get in there. even we have to do that here in the mornings. you have electric heat like me so no circulation is a problem but I use ceiling fans to help, I just put them on low so they pull the air up. also I do have a heat recovery unit which I run to keep a constant change of air going in the house.
