The shirt is called that across the country, I believe, but a Lumberjack (a harvester of the forests) is called a Logger in British Columbia.

I thought that the term of “Lumberjack” was more of a universal North American term

It is a universal North American term, though it's a bit outdated by now. For example, Paul Bunyan is a mythical lumberjack of American tall tales. While some of tall tales featuring Bunyan may be set in Canada, the bulk of them were definitely set in the U.S.

The origin of Buffalo:
(1) The pattern is called buffalo check, because the owner of one of the first wool mills in the U.S. owned a herd of buffalo. He made woolen outerwear, including in the distinctive red & black pattern. Or (2) it was traded by a Scotsman to Native Americans for Buffalo Pelts. Or (3) it originated in Buffalo, New York.

When Paul Bunyan's stories were later popularized, the writer described him wearing a buffalo check flannel shirt.

I compiled this by looking at a few websites, but most of it is here:

I have a heavy wool shirt in the Maple Leaf tartan. I occasionally wear it with a plain black kilt....my upside down outfit!
