A popular sports field in Kelowna’s Kettle Valley will not be turned into a subdivision.

The land was originally designated for a new school, but the Central Okanagan School District opted not to build on the site.

After a lengthy debate Tuesday night, council voted down the proposal by a vote of 6-2 with Mayor Colin Basran and councillor Gail Given voting in support.
