Parents and students who are studying in Canada will find a six-character code on the course selection form and the transcript.
In high school courses in Ontario, Canada, each course has a six-character code. In this course code, do you know what each character stands for?

We will use Grade 9 Issues in Canadian Geography (CGC1D1) as an example：
