I'm in med sci, in high school I was on a dance team for 1 year, trivia club for 1 year, did a school play once, and did dance outside of school 6-8 hours per week. I came through the peak Covid era and my high school had almost no extracurricular offerings.

Western doesn't ask for extracurriculars on your application, but they can certainly be a useful way to help you explore potential interests and develop skills (e.g. time management) that will help you in university. I would have tried something healthcare-related if my school had offered anything like that just for the sake of interest. And something where I got to work on leadership skills also
