Sheila Rose Jones Steele (1943 – November 11, 2006) was a Canadian social activist based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She maintained a website, Injusticebusters.com, which was dedicated to exposing alleged miscarriages of justice in Saskatchewan in particular, and in Canada as a whole. [1]

Steele became well known in Saskatchewan for her involvement in, and coverage of, the Richard Klassen foster children case, which led to one of Canada's largest settlements for malicious prosecution. [2]
