    Can someone confirm this is Common comfrey?

    Looks like the leaf petiole wings extend well down the stem, so I'd say yes to Common Comfrey; other comfreys the petiole wings only go a short way down the stem if at all.

    In Britain in recent years, invasive Symphytum × uplandicum (Russian Comfrey) has become the commonest comfrey; don't know if that applies in BC as well.
