I remember our high school history teacher taking us to an aviation museum in Toronto. They had a section of the plane out on display and it was a beautiful piece of work.

But I'll never forget the way the tour guide described the story of the arrow and the hurt in his voice as he recanted the decision to scrap the plane.

For that generation of Canadian aviation geeks, it was truly a gut punch.

There's currently a full-size Arrow replica on display in Toronto, at the Canadian Air and Space Museum. I haven't gotten a chance to go there yet, but the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa currently has an original nose section on display, which I believe is the largest surviving piece. I can attest to the later being a very good aviation museum all around; I recommend it to anybody who's interested in that sort of thing. The nearby Diefenbunker museum is also very cool if you're interested in cold war stuff.
