Abstract

The Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) is a project to combine radio, millimetre and infrared surveys of the Galactic Plane to provide arc-minute scale images of all major components of the interstellar medium over a large portion of the Galactic disk. We describe in detail the observations for the low-frequency component of the CGPS, the radio surveys carried out at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO), and summarize the properties of the merged database of surveys that comprises the CGPS.
