Prop Strike and Go-Around

May 31/14-A privately operated Cessna 177RG (C-GYVH) had flown from Invermere, BC (CAA8) to Springbank, AB (CYBW). The gear was not in the landing gear configuration for the landing at CYBW and the propeller came into contact with the runway surface. No landing gear warning horn was heard during the approach. Power was applied and a go around was initiated and the tower alerted ARFF. A flyby past the tower was conducted to assess damage and wait for ARFF before landing. An uneventful landing was completed on runway 35. The aircraft sustained minor damage limited to the propeller blades. Maintenance is repairing and inspecting the aircraft.
