Calgary is sooooo dry you likely will not have any problems with humidity. I would suggest to turn on your recirc fan for your furnace and just leave it run 24/7 if you dont already have it running all the time. That will move all the air in the house around. Also leave your blinds up a bit.

Having an HRV will help a lot.

If you have a heat pump some of them have dehumidifier mode.

If your going to run the furnace in circulation mode I would make sure it's at the lowest speed.

If your looking at installing an AC unit I'd recommend a ductless heat pump one. They will heat/cool and dehumidify.
