Extra-curriculars for business school (help)

I am new to this forum so please inform me if similar posts have already been made or if I am in the wrong place.

I am in my first year of high-school right now. I want to get into Ivey or Queens commerce in hopes of breaking into IB. These programs are very competitive and have around a 7 or 8% acceptance rate. I have heard many things about how extra-curriculars arev very important to stand out in your application, and so I want to start looking into this before it is too late. I am planning on becoming a ski instructor after I am too old for racing (17-18yo). I am also planning on working for my dad in the summer as he owns a sporting goods store. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas of extra-curriculars that would be a good fit for me? I am also in investment club at my school, and I am planning on taking DECA next year (canceled due to COVID). Thanks for the help!
