Some excerpts from the citation read at the Awards ceremony:

Sidney-Pacific is a one-of-a-kind residence-based student government in the whole country which combines resident advocacy, informal faculty-student interactions and social and community events. Established only in 2002, it is a significant accomplishment that this government has reached a level of maturity in dynamic that even established graduate student associations aspire for.
