We present new images of the low radio surface brightness Supernova Remnant (SNR) G126.2+1.6, based on the 408 MHz and 1420 MHz continuum emission and the HI-line emission data of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). {\bf We find the SNR's flux densities at 408 MHz (9.7$\pm$3.9 Jy) and 1420 MHz (6.7$\pm$2.1 Jy) which have been} corrected for flux densities from compact sources within the SNR. The integrated flux density based spectral index (S$_{\nu}$$\propto$$\nu$$^{-\alpha}$) is 0.30$\pm$0.41. The respective T-T plot spectral index is 0.30 $\pm$0.08. We also find spatial variations of spectral index within the SNR{\bf:0.2-0.6.} HI observations show structures probably associated with the SNR, i.e, features associated with the SNR's southeastern filaments in the radial velocity range of -33 to -42 km$/$s, and with its northwestern filaments in -47 to -52 km$/$s. This association suggests a distance of 5.6 kpc for SNR G126.2+1.6. The estimated Sedov age for G126.2+1.6 is less than 2.1$\times10^{5}$ yr.
