Steve,
Not an electrician, but I have the ALBERTA code book. It looks like you can run a second panel through your main panel. Sub panel using 2 breakers to power the new panel. It also says that if you have a 100 ampere service you will be fine. you may have to reroute two wires to the new panel to make room for the breakers.
I would suggest getting the "Electrical code simplified" for BC. Ipaid 10 bucks for the alberta one.
If you have any more questions let me know, my neighbor is an electrician.

Cheers,

Al
