Louise Towell of the Stream of Dreams Murals Society (SDMS) has been dreaming of Stream of Dreams Dreamfish “swimming” along on a Skytrain for several years. In late 2006, after learning of the Project Rivershed Brunette project of the Rivershed Society of BC (RSBC) (RSBC), she proposed a Stream of Dreams “Mural in Motion” on a Skytrain, as an action that Stream of Dreams Murals Society could contribute to the project. The “SalmonTrain” was suggested as an educational outreach tool to generate and reinforce public understanding of ‘best practice’ behaviors that preserve and honour water for people and fish, promote an interest in local watershed geography, specifically the Brunette River watershed, and extend the understanding of the general public of a key message behind all the existing Stream of Dreams murals: we are all connected to our waterways through storm drains (rain drains). The SalmonTrain became a partnership initiative between the RSBC and the SDMS after meeting with Skytrain staff in February 2007, and received corporate support from Translink, Lamar Transit Advertising and 3M during the following months.

The SalmonTrain was conceived by the Stream of Dreams Murals Society and developed and launched in partnership with the Rivershed Society of BC (RSBC) as an initiative of RSBC's Project Rivershed with support from Translink, 3M, and Lamar Transit Advertising.
