The Gippsland GA8 aircraft, registration C-GNWL departed Poplar River and was en route to Berens River. The aircraft had just begun cruise flight at 3,500 feet when the engine (Lycoming IO-540) began to vibrate. The pilot elected to return to Poplar River with power on, where the aircraft landed safely. The operator advised that one of the propeller (Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BF) blades (F84-75R) had completely fractured approximately 10 inches from the tip. The vibration induced from the imbalance resulted in substantial damage to the engine area and mount.
