Cycling in Waterloo Region

I'm confused.  If you are going straight, you are in the left hand bike lane, but if you are making a left turn, you are in the RIGHT lane?  I don't get this.

It’s a two stage turn, if you are going left, you pull to the right on the far side of the intersection, now you are effectively at the front of the bike lane for the perpendicular direction, you go when the light changes to green in the direction you are turning left into. Its basically how all pedestrian crossings work.

OK, thank you for this clarification.  I didn't realize it was a two stage turn.... I assumed all vehicles could make a left turn in one signal light.

Thanks,
