Canadian North flight 5T129, a Boeing 737-406(C), was on initial climb at approximately 400 feet when the no.1 engine Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) exceedance light illuminated. The crew actioned their memory and the quick reference checklist (QRC) items, and the EGT exceedance light subsequently extinguished within a half inch of thrust lever movement. The flight crew declared an emergency (PAN PAN) with Air Traffic Control (ATC) and were provided holding instructions. While in the hold burning fuel to the maximum landing weight, a passenger had a panic attack which precipitated a planned overweight landing. AKT129 landed into CYOW runway 32 where Airport Rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles were standing by. ARFF inspected the landing gear, and the aircraft was cleared to the gate.
Maintenance conducted a borescope inspection of engine #1 and found damage out of limits on a High Pressure (HP) blade. The engine was changed.
