The Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) is the largest effort of its kind to study and understand the Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) and Interstellar Medium (ISM) in our Galaxy (see e.g. Taylor et al.2003). The CGPS has mapped the Galactic plane visible from DRAO on all spatial scales down to arcminute resolution in total intensity and polarized emission at νobs=1.4 GHz (see Landecker et al.2010). The latest results invoking Faraday rotation and polarization gradient studies of the CGPS are discussed.
