Is the 1st one for non honours program? if it is why is the required CA higher than honours program?
and does the 1st one mean that if you got lower than 6 on a graded course then you cant graduate?

Yes, I believe you've understood it correctly...just be sure to note, in case you're unaware, that "Honours" does not mean "good grades" in this context. It means a 4 year degree;

So my point is, to get a B.H.Sc. (General) degree in 3 years, they require a 6.0. To get a B.H.Sc. (Honours) degree in 4, they require a 5.0.

While I too feel the honours degree should hold a higher standard than the general degree, it is kind of Apples and Oranges here. One could argue that in order to complete the degree in 3 years, one should achieve a higher level of standard to make up for it.

Nice try making a jab at Health Sci, but it doesn't even matter if the vast majority of Health Sci's get summa cum laude. Since it's only 9.5, so many students have it from all faculties that the meaning of it gets diluted and it's basically irrelevant now. Summa cum laude, at this school, seems to mean "did moderately well".
