Junior in HS worried about extra curriculars

Hi! I'm currently heading into the Junior year of high school and am very confused on what to do for extra curriculars to be accepted into a semi-target/target school. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and am hopeful it will stay that way. But now I'm worrying on what extra curriculars I should partake in. Currently I have an online business giving me a humble $200 a month, I am also looking for a job as I've heard it helps. Finally I am apart of my schools leadership program, and am coordinating to found a DECA club. I know I should enjoy high school , and I am, I'm just worried about if I 'm doing enough or not to get into a good school. Since I'm Canadian, I'm trying to get into Western/Queens/University of BC.
