Nov 20 (Reuters) - The Alberta government on Wednesday appointed former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper as chairman of the Alberta Investment Management Corp, after dismissing the entire board earlier this month because of low returns.

AIMCo is the public pension fund manager for Alberta, Canada's main oil-producing province, and manages more than C$160 billion ($114.36 billion) in funds.

Harper is a former Conservative Party leader and was prime minister of Canada for nine years, until his party was defeated by Justin Trudeau's Liberals in 2015.

"His appointment, and that of the rest of the board, are a strong step forward in giving all Albertans confidence in the long-term sustainability and success of AIMCo," Alberta premier Danielle Smith said in a statement.

The Alberta government said it has also made additional board appointments, including three board members who have been reappointed after being fired.
