Dat One Gi
I don't have any other girls to really ask. I'm going into grade 9 which is the start of highschool in Canada.
I'm not sure what to be looking for as a book bag. I was told bigger is better from many older kids- my brother and his friends.
I was thinking 3 main ideas- [tote, messanger, or normal back pack]
1st- www.coach.com/online/handbags/-poppy_purses-10551-10051-5000000000000189652-en?t1Id=5000000000000032004&t2Id=5000000000000189652&tier=2&LOC=LN#105017
The Poppy signature glam tote
2nd- www.dakine.com/p/bags/messengers/2012-winter-girls/12w-taylor < in any other color than black.
3rd- www.sparepartslife.com/backpacks/burton/day-hiker-pk-20l.html < something like this, not sure about any of these colors but I've seen different ones.
So I guess what's more in style and useful. It's for 2012-2013 school year.
Thanks :)

Answer
Everyone generally uses a backpack, but some girls use totes, too. I don't really see a lot of messenger bags.
Out of the three, I think the most in style would be the first one. However, it'd be really hard to carry/use after a while because it'll get really heavy. As a second choice, I'd choose the messenger bag because it's easier to use. Your shoulders won't hurt as much, and it's not entirely bad-looking. I don't really like the backpack though, it doesn't seem like it's for school, lol.
Ultimately, what I would suggest is to pick a backpack. It's the easiest to use, and can carry the most stuff. Get it in a cute design, and don't get it in a humongous size because it'll look scary. For example, I have a really cute taupe-ish leather backpack, and it's average sized. It's perfect! :)

Backpacking in Canada - Backpacker Jobs?
Dick
Hi guys,
Im from Australia and my friend and i were thinking about backpacking around Canada next year (2013) for almost a whole year.
We were hoping to get a backpackers job working on a farm as farm-hands helping out with general farm duties, feeding animals, cleaning up after them, walking and interaction ect. Not a farm as in cows, more like chickens, dogs, smaller type animals. Even a husky farm that we've heard about.
Or alternatively working at a lodge, helping around doing all kinds of duties. Cleaning, serving customers, making beds, cleaning rooms ect.
Since we would be staying until almost Christmas, we were hoping for free accommodation and meals where ever we would be working but in return for docked pay.
That would be the ideal backpacking experience for us anyway.
So my question to you guys is, which part of Canada would be best to visit to find backpacker jobs in the Farm-hand, lodge, animal care, general house duties type jobs. Even things such as looking after kids and helping around the house would be fine.
If there would be a Canadian website where people list jobs for backpackers that would be a huge help. Kind of like www.gumtree.com.au here in Australia.
We would most likely leave for Canada in February. We both dont mind the weather. We both only know how to speak English. We would be backpacking on a IEC visa program.
There are plenty of farm/nannying/house duty jobs in Australia that are listed on www.gumtree.com.au that gladly accept backpacker applications. Is there a website like that in Canada?
Overall, it would be an amazing experience and i cant wait to go!
We were hoping to work for almost a year and then with the money that we saved we would explore Canada.

You require a work permit in order to work in Canada or stay longer than 180 days each year. "Working holidays" visas are offered by HRSDC through a program called the Youth Experience Program. Only a limited number of visas are issued each year -- based on the number of Canadians which visited Australia under similar programs there. Competition for these are usually extremely fierce and they tend to fill up within days or weeks of opening.
There is no assurance you will actually find work in Canada. In most cases, if you don't prearrange some type of work, you'll find it difficult to find much in Canada or find it promptly. Few places hire workers for less than three months at a time. Most minimum wage jobs also won't typically cover costs of living. Backpacking may sound wonderful, but in reality, if you don't have a vehicle, you can't get to work every day. Hotels get expensive after a while and so does eating out.
Farm work is certainly possible. However, you'll be working at a farm for months at a time -- and there isn't much to see there as they tend to be in fairly remote areas. Most work is also not terribly pleasant -- fruit picking, cleaning stables, etc. Chicken farms in Canada are not cut little chickens... they are massive factory-like facilities with thousands of birds. There are no "husky farms" in Canada. Dogs are held in kennels and few bread more than a dozen or so dogs. The only place you'll find large numbers of huskies as non-pets is in the far north. There is no unemployment up there, most are Inuit lands, and even children know how to care for their animals.
Best places for Youth Experience Jobs, tend to be off-season tourist locations. Camps, ski resorts, hotels, rafting, other outdoor activities, restaurants, movie theatres, etc.. during the non-summer months (not May through August, as Canadians are often in school). Farm work tends to be either prearranged or extremely seasonal... fruit picking day labour and such.
