Can anyone clarify for what that sentence means?
For my understanding, I am required to work 8 hours per day (40/5)
Lunch break (1hour) is not included in the 8 hours per day
therefore I will pretty much be outside for (8hours work+1hour lunch)9 hours?

From what you wrote, it sounds like you'll be working for 9 hours a day, with an unpaid lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 each day. To be perfectly honest, not a lot of employers/companies are going to be PAYING you for an hour for you to eat.

"Overtime hours during the week are not
remunerated."
does that means if I need to work extra hours during Mon-Fri, the extra hours I put in will not be compensated. I will only get overtime pay if I was required to work on Sat/Sun
correct?

Correct, they are not going to pay you for any overtime. I would check with the Employment Standards Board about this. Unless there are special rules in your industry, it is against the law by not paying overtime.
