Yeah, those numbers are definitely on the low end. Not all categories are listed in the stats can survey (i.e. Punjabi Sikh's don't consider themselves South Asian - so numbers are lost sometimes)
The Edmonton Journal reported there are 100,000 Sikh's in Alberta alone.
Every year, there is a Sikh parade in Edmonton that easily tops 10,000 people. That's just Sikh's who attend. Then you got Hindu's and muslim's, on top of that. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 40-60K in Edmonton.
